Why Am I Suddenly Stumbling Over My Words Novels & Stories

I sat alone in my room, the silence pressing down on me like a heavy weight. The walls seemed to close in, leaving me feeling trapped in my own thoughts. My hands moved automatically, signing the familiar gestures of my language, trying to work through the panic that had become a constant companion.

Right now, I can feel both happening intensely.

Without a single word he spun on his heel and stormed from the room. I flinched when I heard a loud crash. It was shortly followed by the front door slamming shut. Embarrassment wasn’t an emotion I was familiar with, and as it swept over me my skin began to prickle with discomfort. I began to fumble with the ties, my fingers suddenly clumsy. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know. I didn't realize. I’m so clueless sometimes, I swear. I just put it on without looking and—and I should have looked first. Why didn’t I look first?"

The moment is so awkward right now that I have no idea how to fix it. I should have never listened to my dragon. I break my gaze away from her and look around the room.
