fear paralyzed him
his terror mounted with every step
she fought a rising panic
fear tormented her
her heart was uneasy
her heart leaped into her throat
his heart hammered in his chest
his heart pounded
terror stabbed his heart
his heart jumped
her heart lurched
a fear that almost unmanned him
his body shook with fear
she trembled inside
he suppressed a shiver
panic surged through him
her fear spiked
he was in a complete state of panic
she could feel nothing but blind terror
his legs were wobbly with fear
she sweated with fear
his hands were cold and clammy
she was weighed down by dread
dread twisted in her gut
his stomach clenched
fear fluttered in her stomach
her belly cramped
he felt like he might throw up
she was sick with fear
she was frightened down to the soles of her shoes
he was icy with panic
her body went cold with dread
raw panic was in her voice
her voice was thick with fear
his voice was edged with fear
terror thundered down on him
fear caught her in its jaws
fear clawed up her throat
terror sealed her throat
fear gripped her throat
his throat tightened
then she knew real terror was
he was frantic with fear
she was half mad with terror
the color drained from her face
his face was ashen
she blanched
dread gnawed at his insides
dread had been growing in him all day
fresh terror reared up within her
fear choked him
terror stole her words
he was mute with horror
her voice was numb with shock
his voice was shrill with terror
her defiant words masked her fear
her body felt numb
his blood froze in his veins
terror coursed through her veins
fear throbbed inside her
his panic fueled him
adrenaline pumped through his body
adrenaline crashed through her
fear pulsed through him
her scalp prickled
the hairs on the back of her neck stood up
his mouth went dry
his bones turned to jelly
her bones turned to water
she froze with horror
he didn't dare to move
terror struck her
he was too frightened to lift her head
she was too frightened to scream
his mouth was open in a silent scream
he cringed with fear
she cowered
he shrank back in fear
she flinched
a bolt of panic hit her
terror streaked through him
her terror swelled
his panic increased
anxiety eclipsed his thoughts
panic flared in her eyes
his eyes were wild with terror
her eyes darted from left to right
she feared to close her eyes
he lay awake in a haze of fear
she walked on in a fog of fear
his eyes widened with alarm
she tried to hide her fear
he struggled to conceal his shock
fear crept up her spine
fear trickled down her spine
panic seized his brain
she felt a flash of terror
fear took hold of him
fear flooded through her being
she ordered a drink to drown the panic
he arranged and re-arranged the items on his desk
a nameless dread engulfed him
