Sequence

Head is pounding.
Heartbeat speeding.
Eyes are bulging.
Breaths quickening.

Thoughts are racing,
Footsteps nearing.
Doors bursting;
Open

Fists are flying.
Blood is pouring.
Evil showing,
Darkness growing.

Head is spinning,
Heartbeat slowing.
Pupils dilating,
Breaths stopping.

Thoughts ceasing.
Footsteps subsiding.
Doors slamming;
Closed.
