Short 1.
There's something wrong with me.
Ever since I was a kid, the sounds of terrified screaming did not bother me. I could sit through the most god awful wailing and never feel a thing. Horror movies never bothered me nor did they give me nightmares.
When stray dogs mangled my neighbor's cat, I barely even noticed the violence or the woman's heart rending sobs. I don't get startled at all when people jump out and yell at me.
Don't get me wrong, though. I still get creeped out by other things. In fact, I just got up to shut my closet door.
The shadows inside were getting to me, and the door muffles the screams.
