Headlights

Description

Another scream tore past his lips, sounding to his ringing ears like it was coming from someone else entirely. He tried to see out of the windshield in front of him, but everything was a blur, light and dark smearing together like a child's finger painting.

Who was he? Why was he? He wished someone would tell him. 

Foreword

Trigger warnings: Panic attacks, car crash

This is loosely based on something that happened to me several months back. For awhile now I've been dealing with a variety of health issues, one of which is a panic disorder. That basically means that I have panic attacks that are triggered by absolutely nothing, so they can come on anytime and anywhere.

I've had several while driving, but one evening I was driving away from work and started o have one. It was pretty bad and there was nowhere on the road that I could pull off for it to pass. I finally made it to a nearby parking lot and by then the panic attack had mostly passed, but it was extremely terrifying since I had almost no control over myself for those several minutes when I was driving. I didn't actually get into an accident, but I ended up writing this fic anyway as a way of me channeling my fear of what happened.
