I know a guy, and he always looks like a deer caught in the headlights whenever someone talks to him. It’s as if he goes “SHIT, SOMEONE’S SAYING SOMETHING TO ME, WHAT DO I DO” in his head. And I wonder, how come we get like that? What happens in our brain to make us think that others are better than us, and our word doesn’t mean anything so it’s best to not say anything and hope no one asks. What makes us so startled about it?
Phil looked up at his girlfriend, startled. Judging by Lucy’s expression, she had already called his name several times, but he was so caught up in his own thoughts that he had completely failed to notice her. He smiled apologetically, and bit back a sigh. He knew he hadn’t been such a good boyfriend, lately, and he was truly sorry. She deserved more than this, but he couldn’t help. The troubles he was having at work seemed to be getting worse and worse with each day, and he had more than once found himslef considering the idea of quitting.
But, anyway, now it wasn’t time for dwelling. Lucy, too, had had a very bad week, and a well deserved break was in order. He suddenly realized, from her quizzical expression, that he still hadn’t aknowledged her. He smiled again, this time with more confidence, and he gently stroked his finger on her soft cheek. She smiled back, and relaxed at the familiar touch. The night was all theirs.
I am startled, frozen, standing in one place. I can’t move, just looking at her, can’t talk, just spying her eyes as she is standing over there. I am startled, frozen, like a rat after the electric shock conditioning.
Wide eyes- big and brown- look up from a box of letters and notes. A pale pink mouth opens up to apologise but already the door is closing, a heat sweeping up inside my chest. Someone reading the contents of your heart is almost as bad as having it ripped out.
Eyes opened wide, sweat beaded down smooth skin. Adrenaline-charged blood pulsed through swelling arteries, pushing oxygen to even the smallest of muscles. Nostrils flared and the urge to run filled every inch of available brain matter. Neurons sparked as limbs stiffened and coiled, ready to react.

They boys were startled by a sudden bright light that descended over the baseball field. Never had they seen something so penetrating, like fire works, in the Arkansas sky- glimmering like diamonds next to moon light. Joe told Peter to grab his glove and Bobby came whipping by from the outfield.
A startled fox, was startled by a startled wolf, which was startled by a bear, which was startled by a hunter, which was startled to see a bear. Then the bear startled the wolf, which the wolf startled the fox. Then they all were startled to see each other.

during our last ball game of the season i was running down the court. (this is not true) i was going in for the layup and i never looked at the clock but the buzzer startled me. we won the game by 2 points.

“Feeling a little jumpy?” He asked.
She punched him lightly, “Jerk.”

I was very startled when the bear awoke and charged me. The bear was a very large, female brown bear. This was one of the scariest experiences in my life, as I could have died. I did not want to die, so I ran off to where my rifle was and shot the bear in the face.
It is startling that the only things that seem to continue are those that clank, wash, and holler. These are coffeeshop sounds. The line moves forward, shortens and music is heard less then louder for brief periods.
Startled the waiter turned to find Mr Dewam having a heartattack. Rushing to his side he called out for an ambulance, the crowd in the resturaunt we’re a ghast, a young semmingly fit man cripled on the floor. Under the table Conor noticed a needle.

“Did you just fart?!”
Casey, had woken up, startled by her own flatulence.
“No! What? No!”
This would have been the only time that Casey had revealed her lower origins.
“Nothing,” I said. I didn’t have the heart to tell her.
Dropping the shoes in the pool shouldn’t have startled him. A splash is not an abrupt sound. Yet his inability to focus without his glasses on kept Paul from knowing it was coming.
He stared at her, eyes wide with surprise, anticipation, wonder and– yes, a little fear. She had dropped him like stone without even touching him, and Lee slumped against the wall. He could see the negative image around her, the darkness that stuck to her limbs and stood out starkly against Seph’s glowing radiant power.

Who, what, when, where, and how
These questions pop up fast and leave in a clouded blur
You
My heart
Now
Here
Because we were only ever good at fighting
But the real startling part of it all?
I think I’m over it.
She was startled by the loud clang of the bell. She couldn’t see a foot in front of her. It was totally dark. She heard faint rattling noises behind her. She turned around. “Rats!”, she thought, and felt a strong fear rushing through her.
The stars were startled awake by the thundering snores of the suns slumber,
and brought to being by the night.
They twinkled and bickered and were ailed with the task of holding the sky up
while the suns eyes were set to rest.

The sound startled all of us sitting in the bar. It was like the noise of several bands starting to play at once, all genres and volumes. I don’t think anyone realized the dam was broken until the water was sloshing around our feet.
I was startled by the call of the birds, emerging from the silence. Something had silenced them. Whatever it was had evidently gone or changed, and things were seemingly back to normal.
It was all very deceptive, and I didn’t trust my ears.
It is so easy to startle an individual bean in a bowl of bean soup. What you do is drape yourself with a tomato or hide behind a piece of onion; and then, just as the spoon sweeps by, you jump out at an unsuspecting bean. It happens every day.
I’m startled by your presence now that I’ve grown accustomed to your absence, yet still in the middle of cleaning out my closet and breathing dust like perfume I swoon and you catch me from hitting the floor and looking round I’m alone.

Change makes the soul feel startled.
It’s not about politics- it’s about movement. People began moving since the beginning because of hunger, disparity, invasion… you name it.
I am transitioning into the all-important phase of adult stability with a lifetime partner.
My soul is startled.
But not the way mankind has been startled by change though the ages.
This is bliss.
