unreality

There's a thought; "there's a monster in my wardrobe".
Fear arises; the body feels tense and shaky.
Thought arises; "is there really a monster in there? Should I check? What if I check and there is!"
On and on thought spins.
Fear increases; she leaves the room, unable to bear the fear.
Sometime later she enters the room again and quickly locks the wardrobe.
"Now it can't get out."
She tries to sleep, but images of monsters flood in.
Sleep is fitful and short-lived.

Next morning feeling a wreck, a friend notices and says "what happened to you?"
She tells the story.
Friend rushes upstairs and unlocks the wardrobe and throws open the door.
No monster anywhere to be seen.
"This is what thought can do" the friends says.
"Thought can throw up anything, the question that needs to be asked is, 'is it true?'"

To be continued........
