Fear

Fear  [feer] –noun a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined; the feeling or condition of being afraid.

I stand, the night closing around me, I stare into the dark whirlpool of black, I feel the cold wind lash at my skin, I am afraid. Nowhere to turn, Nowhere to go, Lost in the woods, Stranded in a void of nothingness. Rustling of leaves, Silence. Light footsteps, Silence. Frozen I stand, My heart racing in my chest, The silence like a thick blanket, There is a tap on my shoulder. I force myself to move, I turn, I see, I  Scream!
