When you have so much fear in you that it could kill you that is the feeling of mortal terror. The word mortal concerns life. If you are mortal then you have a lifespan that can end at anytime; as opposed to immortal where you live eternally. The word terror refers to fear. However when I think of terror I think that it is more severe then just being scared. When you are full of terror your body might start shaking or become short of breath and it usually is because of major fright or worry. 1197299057
