Fear

I can hear my heart racing

I hear the beat uneven

Shock surges through my body

Sweat coming down my brow

My feet pound into the ground

I gasp for air

Unknown voices in my ear

I see shadows everywhere

I scream out in terroir

As I fall

I awake

I am safe

With my dog at my side

He comforts me

I curl up with him

And I fall back to sleep
