The mind at night: replays, worst-case thinking and nightmares, sentence 4
The night mind has other tricks: it jumps from one cross voice to "I'll be alone forever", it doubts the locked door, it turns sad days into nightmares, it makes a coat look like a monster; in daylight, with facts, almost all of it looks much smaller.
Who acts: night mind, mind, I, coat, all · What happens: have, jump, be, doubt, lock, turn · To what, where: other tricks, one cross voice, locked door, nightmares, coat
