Anxiety's Visions: Confrontation ............................

The choppy waters of the sea batted the hapless boat and its mistress. With each inch the boat proceeded, she became more certain of her premonition. With each yard the boat traveled, the sea became angrier at the trespasser. With each breath she took, her mind ached with fear. There was no turning back. There was no alternative.

Without so much as the meekest noise, the sky exploded with a burst of light. As the light receded, Steena became aware of a shadow in front of her. The shadow became a form, became a being, became a man. Steena's mind reeled as she remembered to breathe.

"Guile?!"

With a look of genuine, aching sadness, Guile whispered, "I'm.sorry."

Within a split-second, Guile's countenance changed to that of indifference.

"NOW, I MUST KILL YOU, DRAGON SOUL!!!!!"

"GUILE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
