Its Grip Was Strong


It began as it always did, clawing its way up the left side of her face. The familiar trail of pain lengthening as it encircled her eye and settled in for the duration.  Light and sound intensifying with each claw hold, her senses crying out in protest.

Holding her head in her hands she knew and steeled herself for the long haul.  Its grip was strong and tonight was going to be a long night.

  2. Having suffered from chronic pain and now the post-concussion mess, I can relate. I hope today was better for you. Breathe -- at least that's what I tell myself. xo

    I'm so sorry to hear you are in pain, I know how a migraine feels and that is bad enough. Hope that today is better for you.
