Panic, mania, fear. Dead calm. Set. Repeat.

Panic, mania, fear. Dead calm. Set.

Repeat.

A vicious cycle of constant uneasiness, headaches and nerves consuming one's sanity bit by bit leaving an empty shell of a dumb human.

A skeleton of who you used to be — the flesh corroded, biten off and burned left behind to rot and eventually erode off with the soil settling into the depths of the raging sea which longs for every piece of humanity, an insane driving hunger devouring the weak.
