A Life in Words

Fear can choke. It can slide up your body like cold hands running for your neck. You allow this eerie happening at first because it is explainable to your senses. Your emotions standing in shock as this worry grips your heart. It continues to slide reaching its frigged claws around you and slowly squeezing until you feel it inside your chest as your lungs quietly stop working. Your heart starts to beat faster and your chest seems to cave in as your mind races with what ever is standing in front of you. And then all at once you cannot move. You cannot think of anything other than the creepy thing that stands in front of you. Your eyes swell with tears and your hands begin to shake. Breathing becomes an improbable task and your body becomes unresponsive.
