⚠️ THREAT DETECTED! - WARNING! - THREAT DETECTED! ⚠️
Senses sharpen
INTENSE focus
Cognition locks in
Assessing the threat to ascertain its level
Mild, moderate, severe
How heavy will the weight be that bears down on me?
Can I survive it?
⚠️ IMMINENT THREAT – EMERGENCY! - SEVERE THREAT INCOMING ⚠️
Suddenly slammed into the ground
Winded. Disoriented. Can’t breathe
PINNED DOWN
The weight
CRUSHING
Panic
RISING.
I can FREEZE. Succumb. Play Dead. Hope to wake from this nightmare.
RISING
I can FAWN. Pacify. Reason. Bargain. Beg. But no-one hears me.
RISING
I can FLEE. Escape. Scramble. Push. Pull. Flail. The weight will not budge.
*RISING!*
******* ⚡️FLASH!⚡️********
Blinding!
Hit with the immense force of an 💥ATOMIC EXPLOSION💥 of all-consuming PANIC & PAIN.
Searing its energy into each of my cells
Excruciating
It is a part of me now
THE PAIN
I can’t see
THE PAIN
I can’t hear
OH, THE PAIN
I can’t breathe
But
I FEEL
Hot
I FEEL
Ferocious burning inside
I FEEL
NUCLEAR energy within
I FEEL
*EVERYTHING*
ALL
AT
ONCE!
(Can’t see)
IT’S
(Can’t think)
THEM
(Can’t hear)
OR
(Can’t breathe)
ME
*I*
***** FIGHT!!!!! *****
Breathe. Pull back. PULL BACK!
Fights every instinct inside.
Mask appears externally. NO CHANGE internally.
(A visitor arrived unannounced)
An explosion of sudden demands.
“Hi, so good to see you, come in, have a cuppa” - through gritted teeth as I fight to hold it together instead of launching them out of the nearest window.
