Paranoyia
by Bailey Thomas  

On Halloween night at the age of nine years old, five men dressed as ninjas entered my room with guns. To make a long story short, my entire family was robbed at gunpoint but no one was severely hurt. This was a major moment in my life and still affects me to this day. It is a horrible thing when you do not feel safe behind locked doors, stable walls, and a place that you call your own. After the robbery when I thought I heard a noise in the house I would stop breathing. I thought if I didn't breathe than no one could see me and/or hurt me. I made this video to represent what I go through every time I enter my house.
