My favourite place

I felt my heart start to race and a tingling sensation run through me

I the over powering music blasting in my ears putting me in a trance

I smelt an aroma of caramel and vanilla candles burning, fighting each other to be dominant

I taste electric tingles dancing in my mouth, running down my throat and settling in my stomach

I saw darkness taking over me, big black clouds hovering over my eyes

Then I heard my door being ripped open and the candles blew out

I felt my eyes snap open and my favourite place slowly faded away

I saw my mum furious as ever

I knew my favourite place, my state of mind, my trance was gone.
