Personifying Panic Disorder
I have the ability of sneaking up on my victims when they least expect it. It's kind of disappointing because they become very paralyzed and startled whenever they know I'm near. I'm sure that everyone hates me, but if they don't even want to spend time with me, I'll just make sure that they know I exist and that I can return whenever I please. The truth is, I know their fears and worries better than anyone. I love to use this understanding of my victims to play a little game on them. Don't worry! My game only takes a few minutes to play, so it's not like anyone is being seriously hurt. The trick of this game is to catch your opponent in a moment of weakness. When I notice that one tiny worried thought is floating around in their head, I fill a bucket with all of their fears and dump it on top of their head as if it's a bucket of ice cold water. Then, while they try to get away from my first attack, I sneak up behind them, place a blade to their neck, and whisper negativity into their ear while they sit paralyzed in their place. At this point, my opponent is clearly losing to my ruthless and strategic attack. Their are frozen in their place, leaving me to do with them what I please. I like to gag them with a cloth so they are unable to call out for help. Then, I move that knife to their chest and cut a slit right below their rib cage. I slip my cold hands inside their body and latch onto their lungs. At this point, my opponent is wrapped around my finger. I add a moment of silence for them to anticipate my wrath and then squeeze their lungs with all of my might. When my victim reaches their climax of fear and panic, I release their lungs, retract from their body cavity, sew up their skin, clean up the water I had dumped on them, and disappear without any sign that I was there. Was I really just by my victim's side, threatening their life, or was it all in their head? I'd tell you, but that's what makes it so invigorating. This is a really fun game, don't you think? Perhaps we could play sometime?
Ideas For My Multi-Genre Project
- Personifying Panic Disorder (I will write a narration from the disorder's perspective, making them out to be as scary as their victim perceives them to be.)
- Drawing a visual representation of Panic Disorder (I will take the feelings that come along with the disorder like speeding heart-rate, feeling like you can't breathe, like you might die, or like you're going crazy and express those feelings through a drawing.)
- Making a poster about Panic Disorder (Make a basic informational poster about the disorder based on my research)
- Creating a children's book about Panic Disorder (Letting kids know that they're not alone if they've ever felt this way before. Describing that panic disorder is a monster that is not a good friend to have. Encouraging kids to tell a parent about how they are feeling so that they can get the help they need & deserve.)
