 Audience + Claudine + panic Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?
Ash was increasingly nervous, but Claudine had a calming effect on her. "We worked hard to make everything just right for the performers! I'm so..." Excited. But she wasn't excited. She was afraid. She was so afraid... of something. Afraid... panicked. She was panicking. For literally no reason. Nothing was wrong. But also, everything was wrong. She put her head between her knees, feeling suddenly faint. Her heart was racing, because that's what happened when you were really afraid. Like when something was really wrong. But nothing was wrong. But actually, everything was wrong. But nothing wrong had happened. But something wrong had definitely happened. But she hadn't seen anything wrong happening... ughhh she had a headache. |
