The entity runs,
hackles raised, bewildered, alarmed
The enemy ever closer now,
Breathing at its neck, snapping at its heels
CLOSING IN

A feeling of foreboding
Limpid eyes filled with panic
Paralysis setting in
It turns to face its captor
Ensnared, enmeshed in a web
Which grows ever tighter
A web of its own design

Finally, the realization
That it’s too late to run
Too late to hide
Lost in a labrynth borne of its own misjudgements.
Slowly asphyxiating,
Knowing the end is near.
There’s no escape.

Fear is such a distressing emotion when aroused by impending danger, evil,pain,etc.regardless of whether the threat is real or imagined.Godspeed!Cy

Thanks Cy. But don't worry, I'm not 'the entity'; the fear was never mine!
The deeper meaning of 'the enemy' is 'the truth'.
