Pushes off Sveta's tendril

"Vic!"


I flew. Out the door, into the cool outside. Compared to the temperature back in the city, it didn't feel right to call it cold, but it was borderline freezing out, and a light rain was pattering down.


As I stepped outside, I felt a tendril encircle my neck.


Wretch, the idea crossed my mind. My forcefield extended from my skin, then unfurled. The tendril squeezed, limiting expansion, then released as what it was gripping became ten feet across.
