Temptation
has gotten the better of me
if I’m caught
his wrath I’ll feel
curiosity killed the cat,
step
by
step
on eggshells
I inch.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
Isolation
and fevered fingertips
echo insanity
across five hundred
crisp white pages
methodically stacked,
bulging eyes
seize
I
freeze.
Trepidation
ices my spine
eyes well
lips quiver
mouth runs dry,
like a tempest
my heartbeat thunders
against my ribs
from terror
I shudder.
Sensation
of adrenaline
courses through
my veins
a silent scream swallowed
ominous thoughts surge
walls compress
throat constricts
breathless
hysteric
I panic
Jack’s manic...
DANNY!
