Visual Snippets: realizations aren't always pleasant

[smibbo]

The body is getting up from a chair, walking and talking. Walking becomes stomping; rythmic stepping becomes pacing. Talking becomes shouting; volume and gestures rise together. The figure becomes larger, taller; standing straighter and stiffer with each passing second. Hands are shooting out in staccato motions that go faster and faster blurring into whirlwinds of sharp violent movements, while the legs are rapidly turning into a tighter and tighter circle. Eyes flash bright with raw power and the face is taut; drawn into an aura of tension that threatens to explode the entire structure. All the stabbing fingers and sharp heel-toed turns suddenly STOP as if an invisible wall has come into being. The body slams into the imaginary wall with all the psychological force of a sudden betrayal.
The body falls down into a crumpled mass of fetal helplessness and the hands that previously shot into the air are reduced to pounding the floor. Rebound effect sends the body rocking back and forth. Curled into defensive constriction the body is unable to flail any longer. Frustration drifts out and the mouth opens to follow in an familiar wail from childhood.

All that control, lost in a moment of clarity.
