About This Quote
The panic crawled throughout his limbs like a million tiny newborn spiders. When we start to panic, we feel as though we're being consumed by a giant spider. The fact that it's tiny makes it seem even more horrifying. When we panic, our minds conjure up all sorts of horrible and upsetting images and thoughts, and we feel as though those thoughts are consuming us.
