Panic

Like phone lines from up above.

But there is some communication through the body.

Just like the noise of a thousand phone calls.

Cells in me are confused.

Jolting me awake.

So that my eyes are awake for the first time in awhile.

Vibrations, and pulsing.

I nod once as if answering their question.

Am I ok?

But then my head falls to my chest and that becomes clear.

It’s like a seizure of some sort.

But most people don’t have to remember a seizure.

But through magic, I can remember every moment through my mind’s eye.

Trying to articulate it though…

That’s where I went wrong.

Because it’s confusing to them.

I’m sorry to confuse you.
