Fear

Pencils clicking
Tap. Tap. Tap
Nervous hands shake
violently trying to hold
papers still.
Churning begins deep
inside. Time passes slowly
tick    tock    tick    tock
Fidgeting.
Blank stares glare back.
Mouth runs dry. Words
cannot come.
Fear is
            looming.

  1. You convey your fear well - "nervous hands". "churning", "mouth runs dry". Good imagery! The word and line spacing also add to the imagery. Nice!
