Page 21 of Did It Have To Be Gnomes?!
Fear, confusion, curiosity, annoyance.
Fear. Confusion. Curiosity. Annoyance. Anger.
Fear. Fear. Anger. Fear. Fear. Fear. Anger.
Anger, anger, anger.
So much fucking fear.
So much fucking anger.
Meepsfilled the air all around me, and my heart raced in a panic.
They were everywhere. Gnomes were everywhere.
Another hand touched me, and I yelled out, wiggling around, trying to throw them off me. But then more and more hands reached out, coming from every side. They touched me, and I didn’t know how the creepy as fuck things knew to touch my skin like this, but they clearly did because more of them filed out of the hole in the wall, and every single one of them headed straight for me.
I hadn’t closed up that hole yet, and I was about to pay the price.
I scooted back on my ass, trying to get away, but I ran into the desk and had nowhere else to go. I wanted to move to the right,but a group of gnomes came at me. I tried going left, but even more were there.
More hands on my skin.
More emotions, making my own fear and anxiety amp up.
And I couldn’t get the ones touching me off.
They were clinging to my clothes, they pushed their hands under the fabric, and clung to me for dear life.
Another scream fell from my lips as I tried to push them off, but more and more started touching me until I didn’t know where my emotions ended and theirs began.
Anger.
Confusion.
Curiosity.
Annoyance.
Fear.
So much fear.
Anger.
Anger.
Anger.
My body began shaking, and my head felt foggy as too much information came at me at once. I heard a sound that sounded like a sob, but I didn’t know if it was coming from me, a gnome, or someone else. Or maybe it was in my head.
“Stop, stop, stop, stop. Get off me. Leave me alone.” I groaned as another wave of emotions threatened to flatten me on my back. My head hurt with so much input. Emotions were weighing my head down, and a migraine was already brewing. “Nooo. Please. Please leave me alone.”
When another wave came, and the gnome chatter went up a notch, I knew it really was me sobbing.
