Horror House

The breath inside me would not come. Not as I stared at that door, wide-eyed and shocked. I wish I could have told you I bolted for the front door and left that house in the dust. But my feet were glued to the flooring in that hallway. Stuck, just like the breath inside me. Just like how my eyes would not shut. My body didnt go into flight or fight...not at first anyway. I was paralyzed in fear. The only movement came from the tears sliding down my face.
