How to use "Tension" in context?
There is something inherently tense about being in a new place. You're constantly on the lookout for danger and feeling the adrenaline rush as you peek out the window. You're filled with anxiety as you wait for your family to arrive. All of these feelings are normal when you're adjusting to a new place. The tension only becomes unbearable when the unfamiliar begins to feel even more threatening. Strange noises in the night. Strange people lurking in the shadows. These are the moments when the tension becomes unbearable and it's all you can do to tolerate the situation. The more tension you feel, the more you'll want to leave.
