There's a certain thickness in the air
We can all feel it
When you've lived long enough in fear
You've learned to sense it
It's a trauma response
The wind shifts and stands silent
The sirens before
Hauling terror and chaos to the shelter
It won't be long now
The squall line approaches
#MastoPrompt - squall

This machine, constantly nagging
Gnawing at the edges of my being
A wheel, a treadmill, whatever this is
No reward but to keep limping
