Why witches are not afraid of the dark

Witches are not afraid of the dark, because there is nothing left waiting for them in there.

There is nothing left hiding in the dark that they have not met yet, and they know it.

And when done with missing things, with raging, and crying, and tearing themselves apart, the witch might find the deepest sleep ever. A sleep so peaceful, a normal human being with all its needs and worries and wishes and dreams to come true would never achieve anything like it.

Aren’t the witches lucky?
