Fear without loathing - Nicola Phillips

IT IS NIGHT, AND A PASSER–BY IS WALKING DOWN A LAMPLIT STREET.

He stops at a lamppost, where he sees someone grovelling on the floor as if looking for something.

He asks "Have you lost something? Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I
ve lost my keys," replies the person.

"Where were you when you last had them?"

"I was over there," says the man, pointing over into the darkness beyond the lamppost.

"So why are you looking over here?" asks the puzzled passer–by.

"Because it
s light over here."
