Silent threat, fierce and final breath
Wait your turn, 2 minutes til death.

That lurching and shaking... I sweat.
Others are dying.. and crying.
Loved ones dead in two minutes...
I'm cringing, gasping, just trying
To stay sane...  Is it my turn yet?

Mother reasures me...
I awake from this nightmare...  Sweat...
Still wondering still worrying
Is it my turn yet?

"If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh"

-- Magus

Wow, powerful. Though you chose Anthrax as your title, this is befitting of any disease or crisis.  So well written with emotion, the fear is so real. Very well done.

With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
