Shadow

 The eye is always caught by light, but shadows have more to say.

People think the scariest things hide in the shadows, but I don't think that's true. I think the scariest things are right there, in the light, in front of us, wearing a cat head mask and carrying an axe saying, "Come along now... I know a short cut..."

Sure that would be scary in the dark too, but less scary? I don't think so.
