Creeping behind my ear

 was a high pitched voice grasping the breath right out of my lungs.

 I gripped the stake in my palms, my fingers grasping them tightly. 

\My knuckles drew white and I couldn't open my eyes.

 I was afraid to open my eyes. 

If I imagined hard enough, if I perhaps create a fantasy in my head where everything was paradise- it would go away.

"I'll never go away..."

 it whispered, it's razor sharp fingertips digging knuckle deep into my beating heart that felt as if it stopped.
