shocked - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

My brain stutters for a moment and my eyes take in more light than I expected, every part of me goes on pause while my thoughts catch up. After a wash of cold I step from the shadows, feeling a new warmth to the day. I place one hand on Caleb's shoulder, "It'll be okay, it will."

Shock can be good, can be bad, yet it is always a signal a change in game is required.

Shock brings a quietness within, a moment to feel my emotions change gear and girder my soul for what is to come.

Shock is that feeling of pause while the brain makes a new connection, one that brings high emotion of either joy or sorrow. It is finding yourself unexpectedly on a platform, train approaching, realising that this time the destination is not a choice.
