Shuddering, sweat dripping and sliding down the nape of my neck
Terror, fear blazing in my eyes, hands shaking.
Pages fall, gasping for breath, scrambling to compose
Tripping and falling, hands clutching crumpled papers

Burning red, heat flushes, more sweat, dampened hands, slick palms
Embarrassment, a stabbing in my gut, like a burning knife
Flickering eyes, trying to look for some way out, walls closing in
Composure, Composure, Concentrate, Think, THINK

Gasp.
