FEAR

Leaves scattered on forest floor

rustling, rustling

Nervousness creeping up, stalking its prey

rustling, rustling

Flash of movement in brown undergrowth

rustling, rustling

Closer, closer beads of sweat start to form

I hear rustling, rustling.....

Looking around, breath deepens, pace quickens

panicking , panicking

Rattle shaking, infernal hissing

panicking, panicking

Hood raised , tongue flicking

panicking, panicking

Cobra stikes, Rattler bites

Its the end-

fading, fading........
