Though I have presented you with facts and information throughout this article and I know statistically how I’m supposed to die, my main fear is still as paralyzing and prevalent as it was when I was five years old; the dark. I was unable to find recent statistics on the likelihood of the suffocating tendrils of the dark swallowing you in any hour of the day, I’m sure your chances are about one in three. This is, of course, extrapolating from the fact that night lasts approximately eight hours which is one third of the day. But beyond this terrifying statistic, I hope that I have been able to show you the absolute frailty of the human body. From shark attacks to prison-yard shanking. From venomous bites to vending machines. The chances of you dying at some point in your life are one in one or one hundred percent.
