To Be Fake Again

It's been three years since her last panic attack, she is getting them again. Last time it was cause of the pastor's wife who threatened her. Now the brown eye girl is getting them due to someone else. This time it's the photoman who is doing the threatening to her. For two nights she has nothing but nightmares and no sleep. The brown eye girl is afraid she going to get sick again just like last time. Always looking over her shoulder thinking someone is going to get her. Not being able to eat has already started. Her head goes to a sad place, a dark place where it's hard to get out of. Afraid something will happen to her; she tries to shut out the world and do nothing at all. She believes it's time to be fake again.
