Fog

Scott shakes his head a little, his pulse still racing as he tries to drink some water. He didn’t know what it was, but his nervousness had become a monster of anxiety that suddenly was out of control.


Jason cringes a little at Katie’s tone. He knew he’d interrupted something, especially as long as it had taken her to answer. “Sorry, Hero. It’s Jase. Look…I just…got a funny feeling is all…” He rolls his eyes, not knowing how to explain. “Everything okay?”


Scott blinks and looks up from his water glass to where Katie is standing a short ways away. Like fog lifting into the air, the anxiety was suddenly leaving. His pulse begins to calm, his hands stop shaking.

His breathing slowed, he takes another sip of water and remains seated, a little tired from this strange episode. What on earth had happened? He felt almost fine now.
