So a 10 year old in a foreign country in a room alone in pitch black dark for an hour or so won't get scared?. The room was pitch black we had checked in an hour or so ago so he was not even sure of where anything was in the room was. Though I confess part of the reason was his older siblings and cousins had been telling ghost stories the previous night.


You said "I go downstairs to smoke" and now you say "for an hour or so". I don't know your smoking habits, but isn't this a little unusual?

I don't think I've ever been in a "pitch black" hotel room. I'd bet there was light enough for him to start seeing just fine after five minutes.

The ghost stories, sure. But then he's scarred for life more by the ghost stories rather than by the lights turning off...
