Test My Fire

The moment seems to paralyze me, and before I have the chance to scream, I'm staring into two hellishly red tinted eyes. Clenched teeth uncomfortably close to my neck: growling noises thunder into me, which causes my entire body to tremble. It feels like I'm holding a live wire, as my hands won't stop shaking. The monster above me has its claws tightly clasped below my chin and holds my head into place against the piercing rock. I can't help but turn my head, as its breath is absolutely foul and it stings the back of my throat like acid.

My eyes twitch to a close and I bring my legs close to my chest, in all attempt to protect me from the situation unraveling over me. But I can still feel the creature's steady exhales wrapping hot fumes around my skin. Still hear the threatening grumbles booming into my ears. Feeling the weight of life on my chest, crushing the last ounce of breath I have left. Leaving me shaking and terrified. Paralysed.
