Wewie it’s been a busy day as I prepare for a trip this week but I can’t go without giving at least five minutes to writing. So here’s my Five Minute Friday post with the word prompt of the day: Crowd.
Go:
Crowd.
Sweaty
Tingly
Heart racing
beat, Beat, BEAT, BEAT!
So many people
everywhere
closing in on me
sucking all my breath out of me
I am suddenly just another drop
in the vast ocean
of others.
Who am I now?
No one.
Anyone?
Soon the doors will open.
I’ll cling my baby close to my heart, kiss his sweet cheeks, stroke his soft hair
grasp my luggage tight
hold on for dear life
as the crowd of unfamiliar faces
loud voices
different
language,
sounds,
noices,
visuals,
smells waft up and engulf me
fill me and try to overtake me.
BREATHE! Breathe, breathe….
In….
Out….
There.
I can do this.
No.
We can do this.
Stop.
I can feel your emotion in this post and I can also tell what is on your mind. Something tells me you repeatedly made your creative writing teacher happy in school. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful and safe trip.
Aww thanks Danielle for such an encouraging comment! It’s funny I actually didn’t take creative writing but always wished I had but my English teacher kept trying to get me to, I guess I should have listened.
