Inspired by walking home...alone...IN THE DARK D: -has panic attack-

--------------------------------------

The noises are too loud

Wind through the trees is someone breathing behind me

The birds in the bushes are people hiding

I quicken my pace

A car pulls out slowly

"Walk faster,

Be ready to run"

They go inside

I turn to quickly and think I see a shadow

My heart is erratic

My pulse to fast

Breath, in out

I can see the lights of my house

But what was that noise?

Resists the urge to turn quickly

Glance over me shoulder, see nothing

A twig snaps loudly

My composure breaks

Spin fast, search for the source of the noise

Hyperventilate

Suddenly I'm thrown into panic

On the edge where hallucinations and reality blend

I look down

There's a broken twig beneath my feet...

--------------------------------------------------

Okay so this is why I never walk home alone, or anywhere in the dark ESPECIALLY if I'm by myself. I am WAY to paranoid to do things like that. And yes I actually did freak out because I heard a twig break and I was the one who stepped on it.
