i tend to be generally fearless to a bit of a fault but today i experienced a split second of absolutely primal terror
i was coming home from a hike and was in the mountains waiting for a train to pass so i could cross the tracks. i briefly looked up to look at the train as it approached because i understand the appeal of a good train. i was met with this sight, actively approaching me
my sense of fight or flight is pretty dormant but it hit me so hard i felt vaguely nauseous for five minutes. i sat there in my car looking like id seen someone get shot. for some reason my brain could not process thomas and all i knew was that suddenly my world was very different and very, very frightening
