Denial

You feel it coming like the ground beginning to shake when an earthquake is about to happen.

You feel your body slowly tensing up due to fear.



You try to make yourself believe it won't happen by telling yourself it is a dream.



For we all have been through this game.

It is called denial.

Something that will makes us cringe in fear of the truth.
