A warning was crawling up through ood

It was over before I’d made a sound

A flash of red, a flash of blue, the stench of long-doren My eyes flew shut as the blast hit, and when I opened the and the ground was a good twelve feet beneatharound me, but I couldn’t touch them

I screamed until my throat was raw and blackness claimed me

“Oh, stop that noise! What are you, human?”
