Suddenly I am 8 years old again

mokay_

With every look and stare with every loud sound, I grow smaller and smaller.

I grow smaller and more vulnerable.

Those instincts resurface, and that slow breathing returns.

The predator is here, I need to survive.

What can I do to make myself unseen, please I want to hide.

Try not to bring attention to yourself and remain absolutely quiet.

Shush… he's here
