Skittering scuttling chasing echoes like unnatural forms of silence, muscles twitching and emotions tangling each other, thoughts stumbling and twisting, change and change again, a million tiny decisions swarming together into fear of movement, fear of shivering, fear of drawing the next breath, overwhelming with their collected weight, all the need sucking and pulling, bruising the silence enforced, I am static, I am unmoving and I am filled with electricity, it has no where to go, I crackle and shake imperceptibly, the charge is building, increasing, soaring, sour in my stomach, it binds to the chittering quiet and they spin together, screaming chaos and sorrow and desire and wishes, muscles only tightening the tension builds to frightened rigidity and loss, tunnel vision, blinders, the only path seems to be an escape, a blind downhill race against no one hoping to miss the trees, the ruts, the rocks, picking up speed until the screaming within and the shrieking wind outside become one, a singular buzz of whitenoise and panic, breathing sounds harsh in my ears, I can hear my heart beating too fast, even if I win, I think I will have lost.
