| Silence It�s what I want now� more than anything else. All I can hear and feel is frenzy, rush, hurry, race. Everything is surrounding me, and I�m turning around in circles as everything reaches out and scrapes my skin, destroys my thoughts, and kills my patience. They are all creeping under the door frame in a thick cloud and are making me crazy. Get it all away from me; I grab my elbows and wipe off the grime they�re all putting on me. I�m coated with disease and it�s rising in boils on my skin. They say I have problems, that I can�t cope, that I am not immune, but why can�t they tell me something I don�t know. Hands encircling my neck, fingers stroking my throat, thumbs pushing on my pulse; I�m choking. They are all turning into evil creatures I�ve never seen before, and I want to stomp on them like they are bugs. Squish and squash and squeeze and squelch� get rid of, and shut the door; Stop! |
