Paralyzed

Like a sudden shock and a shake to my system, Fear and Anxiety awoke. Racing at first.. then lingering - standing behind and beside me as looming shadows, Uncertainty and Doubt gripped my heart and stopped short my breath as my eyes drew wide, paralyzed. The time had come, and yet for all my desire to move - to scream, to even blink, my body and mind refused command. It was in that moment I witnessed an eternity flash before my seemingly lifeless eyes - and realized that the lifetime laid before me was but a Dream.
