Back
to Laurel's Home PageFear not Flowers
Heart pumping, pelting
Blood rapidly racing
Adrenaline coursing
Stomach swelling
Breath gasping
Face whitening
Feet running, stuck
Body frozen, frantically pacing
Hands trembling
Sweat beading
Giant poundings on the stairs
Words bellowing
Anticipation, assumptions, expectations
Now, what did I do wrong?
