How can this be described? It is the blood, bubbling and fluttering behind the breast bone, filling the face and failing the feet. It is the guts inflamed, the muscles spasming, contracting the stomach and twisting the bowels. It is skin erupting in sweat, the hair follicles tightening. It is freezing, burning, chills and clammy palms. It is the breath, at first trapped, then escaping and now uncatchable. It is the paralysis of neurons, forever stuck in the moment. It is the widening of the synapses, the space growing. The gaps become too large, unbridgeable, and the connection is lost.
