He felt his stomach twist into knots. He couldn't imagine his life without it. His usual sense of calm was replaced with a rising panic. He couldn't think straight.

His pulse pounded in his ears. He realized that this place was his entire world. He felt like he was spiraling out of control. He didn't know what he would do.
