An attack, a swarm of winged insects against my chest. A blur, a rush of colours and defence mechanisms. Fluttering across my vital organs, and as sudden as a heart attack. This inconsistent breathing is waves crashing at cliffs. No, not the rock at ground level, but the sky high stuff. A paradox. A person, a girl who craves human contact, yet when granted, “fight or flight” she soars.
