The Wonders [Short Stories]

Darkness and Panic

A girl ran through the forest, she ran, and ran, and ran. Away from an enemy she didn't know.

She was surrounded in darkness, afraid, but a voice told her to calm her heart. The voice was almost smooth, like a whisper through her mind. She wanted to listen to it, but she kept running.

She jumped over branches, logs, moss, rocks, and other obstacles trying to block her path.

She felt something trying to get to her, a force grabbing at her, not far away. The darkness was closing in, she couldn't see.

She fell, and the darkness was an inch away. Her mind was in turmoil, angry whispers, yelling voices.

She curled up into herself, she was terrified, she couldn't save herself.

Then... a voice, soothing to her, encouraged her to get up, to get up out of the darkness.

A light shone between the darkness, a hand appears in front of her.

The girl struggles with the darkness holding her back, but she gets up. Her soul is more determined than the darkness trying to forbid her from freedom. She grabs onto the hand.

The darkness clears from around her, and her best friend is holding onto her hand with a proud smile on her face.

"You did it", her best friend told her. "What happened? Why did I...?" the girl asks her best friend.

"Your anxiety kicked in, you were having an anxiety attack."
