Chasing horror


Masses of words lie jangled.  Tied in with your paranoia.  Thickly woven into the fibrous substance of your thoughts.  Your  mind reeks.  The sweet putrid scents of opulent ideas overcome it‘s every corner.  Fear is for the living.  Gelid showers trill down your crooked spine.  In raising yourself it makes a sound like a brittle ancient book being reopened one last time, then cast away.  You‘re in pursuit.  Your ugly eyes  trained on their prey.  A yellow glint in a thick forest.  Amber on a vicious green.  The cold smoke of your breath caught in your throat is only an afterthought. 

You still pounce.

  1. I like this. It's probably not what you meant to say with this but I take it to mean that we hang onto and defend our thoughts and ideals perhaps longer than we should.

    1. I like your interpretation. Personally for me it had a lot to do with facing fears and acting despite the terror of the consequences. Sort of chasing down the fear, following it into action. I don't know if that makes sense to other people. :) Thanks for commenting!
