Bracing for the unexpected
Carter stood there, his heart racing in his chest, each beat a reminder of the tension building inside him. The seconds dragged on, each one feeling like an eternity as he waited for something to happen.
It was as though the world had paused, the quiet stretching longer than it should. He could almost hear the tick of an unseen clock, each moment intensifying his nerves. The wait was like waiting for a storm to break—frightening but thrilling all the same. He wasn’t sure if he was ready for whatever lay ahead.
