We are looking for a 33-word explanation of what scares you (or your character).
I tried to change sides but the closed
box gave me no freedom. As the waves tossed the box,
I tried to shout,
feeling breathless and constricted,
I awoke and the nightmare ended.
And the fear becomes going back to sleep. Nice use of the prompt!
ReplyDeleteWhat a horrible nightmare. Good piece.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Renee, the dream is over but when you go to close your eyes, (sure of course that it was just a dream) sleep is evasive.
ReplyDeleteNice write.
Nightmares and claustrophobia! Yep, don't like it!
ReplyDeleteMy chest feels tight and breathing is difficult. Yes, this is a nightmare! Sometimes the frightening thing is how real it feels.
ReplyDeleteNightmares of being trapped in a little box are terrifying when you are claustrophobic. Great job recreating the panic in so few words! ♥
ReplyDeleteGetting back to sleep after such nightmares are always difficult.
ReplyDeleteNice work with the prompt!
Love how you portray the simple panic in this. Glad the nightmare ended! Thanks for linking up and don't forget to come back and vote!
ReplyDeleteYikes that was scary!
ReplyDeleteMost excellent thing about nightmares is when you wake up : )
I don't think I would be able to fall asleep after that.
ReplyDeleteNice...I can imagine the feeling. My fear is lizard.
ReplyDeleteThe endless loop....will it ever end! Nice!
ReplyDeleteActually reminded me somewhat of the movie Life of Pi, being stuck in the ocean, only this time it was a box and not a boat.
ReplyDeleteImagine the horror! and Jairam is correct it reminded me too..
ReplyDeleteRicha
Good and terrifying take on the prompt!
ReplyDeleteScary, indeed. Well done.
ReplyDeleteNightmares, well described. Sweet dreams.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the box suffocating. Great writing!
ReplyDeleteUff....may be I am being stupid, but it did remind me of Loss of life. Great writing !
ReplyDeleteDude - that fear is no lie. One I won't even admit I have, it scares me so.
