//------------------------------// // Breath // Story: Perspectives // by Polarity //------------------------------// I try my hardest not to freeze. Breathe... In. Out. In. Out. In. snap Out. Relax my body. In. Out. In. snap Out. Focus my mind. In. Out. In. crack. Out. I feel a presence step upon the moss bed. Their weight presses it down. Shifting me slightly. In. Out. In. Out. It steps off. In. Out. I hear a soft murmur. snap In. Out. In. Out. snap In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. In. Out. Silence. I sit up. Nothing has changed. Wait. No. There. In the bed. I see the scuff, torn moss shifted aside revealing the loam underneath... But that one is from me. This one. This one isn't.
