Wracked with anxiety,
Only seeing the negative aspects of the world in which she lives,
Everything has the power to steal her serenity.
Because she gets her news from right-slanting media outlets--Fox News--
Eventually, she comes to believe all signs are pointing to The End.
Going into hiding to escape her terrifying "reality,"
Overcome with hopelessness, she turns to The Hallmark Channel, saying it helps.
Not really, though.
Evidence is in the way her hand trembles as she pours the wine.

Was it the terrifying reality or the desire for the wine which made her tremble so?
Maybe her terrifying reality made her tremble in anticipation of the calm the wine might bring?
