"My mind went blank."
Metaphor in Context
"Do you know?" The entire table of grunge youths stared. "You. You must be Bridget!" he shouted impatiently. "How does a man with a beautiful girlfriend manage to sleep with a prostitute, get found out, and get away with it?"
I panicked. My mind went blank.
"Well? he said. "Well? Come on, say something!"
