A Matter of Seconds

by Mr Reeses

He crawled under his red and yellow sheets, still shakened up from his little car accident experience. He balled up in a circle, still feeling so congested in his chest and feeling the goosebumps crawling up his skin. His heart was still trembling, but he wouldnt cry cause a woman was present, he didnt want to seem like a whimp. He wanted to cry but he couldnt, everything was already bottle up to tight for any release. All he kept thinking about was how his grandmother was killed in a car accident and how he felt so close to death in a matter of seconds. So he refused to open his cell phones, open his notebook, all he wanted to do was curl up and be left alone until he was stable.

    And drink cup after cup of warm tea and breathe deeply and remember. Very good description of very powerful feelings. Some misspellings though, those things bother me even in emotional pieces, no matter how true they are.
