Fear holds you captive in place.
It’s like a dark, cold wave that washes over you.
You are frozen in its space.
Then all of your troubles hail down anew.
You can hear it coming from a mile away.
It makes you want to hide.
You’ll do anything to keep it at bay.
But it’s high tide.
The POUNDING rises from heart to your head.
You close your eyes.
You hold your breath.
You are swept away.
