Paralyzed
No,
Is all I can think.
No, no, no, please no.
I can hear my own rapid breath,
As my lungs burn in pursuit of air.
I cannot move or reach for any of them.
I cry out so hard but only silence comes out.
Helpless in the face of the faceless monstrosity
That has already decided all of our damned fates.
It stares back into my frightful eyes like a child ready to play.
No.
