Stopped dead in her tracks. Underfoot the staircase moves. Onward. Ever upwards. A cycle in continuity. The steps step on their own. In a continual rhyme. Climbing. Never stopping til it's day is done. Go to step. Falter. Unable. Stuck in an entirety of inability. Stairs beckon. They beat me again.
Atop. A need to descend. Big approach. Determined. Only in my dreams. Go to etch my foot on the stair. Say etch. I need to scrawl. The way the ****** escalator takes control. More scared than feeling fear itself. Never will I be able to step over the bridge. Try as I might. Phobia so much greater than me!
