Nightmare

Nightmare
Holds you hostage
Pinned in place immobile
Fear grips you like never before
You cannot breathe, terror implodes within
Stuck in nasty devil’s clutches, 
Cornered, eaten alive
A painful death
Nightmare

first to answer you, no I am not getting ready to go back to school if you meant my teaching. I teach year round in an adult ESL school. I get one week off in early July, Thanksgiving, and three weeks at Xmas!!

Three whole weeks at Christmas thank goodness, you certainly deserve it. No Easter break?
