The calmness was fracturing, tendrils of fear seeping through her mind like ivy. Once the fear consumed her, she'd run.

About This Quote

The idea of fear is something that everyone can understand. It is something that we all experience. A moment where we realize that we are really scared and can’t find a way to stop it. Fear is a feeling that helps keep us safe and alive.

However, when fear consumes you, you lose your sense of self and become so consumed with fear that you can’t think of anything else. Suddenly, there is only the fear and there is nothing else for you.
