Moves out of the way of a dog bite

The length of the dog was an issue, because the door was too small for it, and as strong as I was, I didn't have the leverage when it was this lively. I felt the Wretch's grip slip, saw how the head moved. I knew if the forcefield broke that I wouldn't get a good chance to use it again- the situation would be too chaotic.


The Wretch wasn't helping, either. Hands and feet gripped and banged against bars and the floor.


No, if I was going to lose control, I'd do it on my terms. I shucked off the Wretch, and pulled my arm free in the moment before the jaws shut.


Feet on the ground. I struck out, activating the Wretch in time to land hits, trying to pummel and push to work it into the doorway.
