The Fear


Constant pressure whispers.

I need to know, I am so tense.

Am I thinking clearly?

It's only the rest of my life.

Like the air, it's always there.

The whisper is deafening.

Another letter,

but not sufficient,

and not my dream anyway.

The whisper is crushing me.

I cannot sleep.

Please.

The whisper screams.
