Starting route to home.
My hands are shaking.
The hair on the back of my neck is standing up.
My breaths are interrupted by hiccups of emotion that dare to come through.
Turn left.
My heart walks along a tight rope in the middle of a hurricane.
Swaying from side to side.
Looking down at the pool of emotion below.
Turn right.
My mind begins to fuzz.
I think I'm falling.
Repetitious shivers are sent through my body like shocks from a taser.
My eyes begin the blur with tears.
Warning you have gone off of the route, please follow the directions given so you can reach your destination.
I struggle to swallow my emotions.
Beep please follow the directions given.
I can't concentrate.
Beep please follow the directions given.
Make this stop.
Beep please follow the directions given.
OH MY GOD MAKE THIS STOP.
Beep.
Breathe.
Your vehicle is now back on track.
I can do this.
Just breathe.
Turn right.
My heart rate begins to slow back down.
My hands stop shaking.
Turn left.
My body reaches a normal temperature.
Turn right.
I hum quietly to the radio feeling completely at ease.
You have reached your destination.
