𝒊. TWILIGHT NIGHTMARE FUEL
WHAT is fear?Is it to be afraid of something, or someone? The belief that something is dangerous? Or is it the ultraviolent silence that crescendoes as we pray with our knees in our dust, but the Olympians don't answer us then, oh no? The pines, creak with the weight of ghost, it's a wine dance, a dark dance, a marrow-bone dance-
It's a dream and a reality.
Fear is the shackles that bind you to the earth, stopping you from floating to an unreachable, ethereal plane. Fear is a knife in the gut, slowly twisting as rivers of scarlet run down your skin and we, the naive, innocent children of the world, were never warned that fear is a constant hammering in your head, making the stringing of a comprehensible thought impossible.
She was never warned.
Her mother once told her, "When fear comes, walk with confidence, my dear. Because as the ghosts of children's nightmares, fear is an illusion."
