Reached for: Bag-Popping
“There's a pressure in me I keep the lid on, because if it ever came out I don't know what it would do.”
It runs as rage held under a lid, a seething resentment at the whole shape of one's life kept tightly contained by a terror of one's own power, a run-amok dread that if the force were released it would go too far. The pressure is real and earned; the fear of it keeps it from ever moving. What it asks for is a small, safe release before the containment has to fail.
Typhon, the vast rage the gods could only bury under a mountain, seething beneath the crust and shaking it now and then with a fury never spent. The form implies a task: to let some of the fire out before the mountain does the deciding.
