She ran a hand through her hair, tugging at the strands. Her mind raced, a whirlwind of panicked thoughts. She needed to know who, how, why. She needed control.

She felt a tremor run through her body, her muscles tensing involuntarily. She started pacing her small apartment, back and forth, unable to settle. She needed to escape this unsettling reality.
