A Story A Day. Story 16 of 365: Scared.

He was so scared, he was paralyzed. He could hardly breathe, and better so because even the sound of his breathing scared him. His muscles started tightening up, his heart was racing. He heard footsteps outside his door. He wished he could hide somewhere, but he couldn't move a finger. The door opened, slowly, and there he was sitting on his bed, not even able to scream. He saw a shadow lifting a knife, and then nothing.

-So, what was the cause of death?- asked a journalist to the police officer some hours later.
-He was scared to death.
