Heart pounding,palms sweaty, I reached for the door knob but, it would not turn. Try as I might my hands slick with sweaty fear slipped and slid around the knob. As if things could not get worst I panicked, my heart pounded against my ears, a double beat that resounded throughout the room and back into my chest. my breath came in quicker and quicker , my throat constricted as the moisture was slowly sucked away by the short quick rasps of breath. The room swirled, my legs became heavy, all turned dark and then, oblivion. 2008-03-31T17:37:30Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/25191 <p>Not a bad alternate turn of events.
