Romans & histoires Horrify Or Shock

Climax. Her horror erupted into a desperate scream. “No, no, noooo!”

My hands clench, then splay, desperate for any anchor. The crowd’s reaction is delayed—shock is always slow in a pack. Then it hits, a collective flinch, a hiss of breath sharp as silver. Some faces twist with disgust, a few with something like pity, but most are just blank. They’d rather see a clean execution than this.

My jaw drops, eyes expand as I shiver from the sight I’m seeing against the glass. “Why do I look so...small?” In building horror, I fearfully run my eyes down the length of my reflection and stifle a yelp. I’ve shrunk! No...something is wrong. I step back in denial, hastening my hands over my body in panic and the realization hit harder than a moving train. Clutching a fistful of my hair and staring at my reflection in turmoil, my eyes brim once again as I clamp my lips shut. What is happening to me?!

Harlow thought it was her imagination, but when she blinked several times and he remained there, she couldn't help but scream. Hastily, she covered her mouth not to attract any unwanted attention. Harlow's mind became so hazy as she knew this wasn't real; it was all her mind doing to scare her. However, it never meant she wasn't scared of the unknown being in front of her. Her breathing had fastened, and she felt like she was going to faint from the pure shock that she just witnessed.

Grrrrrrr. A dangerous sense of dread washed over both Darren and Ivy. Then the monster opened its mouth. ROOOOAAARRRR!!! A terrifying shockwave exploded outward. The sheer force behind the roar blasted through the area like a hurricane. "Darren!" "Ivy!" Neither of them could react in time. The shockwave slammed into their bodies and sent them flying through the air.

The shock registers on their faces, a mixture of surprise, gratitude, and a hint of uncertainty. It's a moment frozen in time, where reality seems to blur with the unexpected turn of events.

“Fear is not the same thing as cruelty.” The forest snapped sideways around that truth. Younger Ty’s posture shifted by inches—the kind that changed everything. Less predator. More desperate witness. His face sharpened back toward the expression I now remembered correctly: shock first, then rage, then the kind of terrible focus that comes when someone realises they are already too late for innocence and not yet too late for action.

It felt like being stuck in limbo, not that I knew how it felt. I was just guessing because this was exactly the way a 'limbo' had been described in books and movies. I knew where I was, and what was happening but my brain refused to deign it any importance. My brain had stopped registering what was happening or where I was and I knew that I was in shock. My body was in shock. I knew that Ethan and come and quite literally saved me from a very terrifying turn of events and that I was safe. My body knew it was safe and was, in turn, shutting itself down so as not to come to terms with what had happened just a few hours ago.

Cammie said suspiciously. I just wanted to smack myself. How could I have not chosen a better lie than this? Like a seizure or some practical disease. But if my best friends found Life Shock bizarre enough, imagine how freaked they would be with 'Awakening'. Then the door opened and my mom entered. "Life Shock is a psychological reaction when a person hasn't mentally prepared to deal with extreme stress or unpleasant situations." We all turned to look at her as she walked toward us, "And the symptom is that a person vomits, faints, or become hysterical." When mom finished, she looked at me and winked with an understanding smile.

Her senses were overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation, her pulse quickening with every passing second. The shock resonated through her body, causing her hands to tremble involuntarily. She took a shaky breath, trying to steady herself, but the impact of the news had left her shaken to the core. Her mind raced, desperately trying to grasp the implications of what lay ahead. In that moment, Maddie felt a seismic shift within her being. The shock had jolted her out of her comfort zone, thrusting her into uncharted territory. It was a mix of disbelief and acceptance, a collision of emotions that left her reeling.
