Ducks under flames/ Time stop relaization

I concentrated again, locking my eyes on a new target – the pale throat beneath the long jaws. This was softer. More vulnerable. That was the spot to aim for. Almost immediately, the Ordeen stopped moving.

Was that it? Concentrate and time slowed … almost stopped? Yes, it had to be. It was a result of focus and concentration.

But asking myself that question and reaching that conclusion almost cost me my life. It had disrupted my intense focus. The Ordeen’s lizard head swayed from right to left, and another tongue of flame surged straight at me. Just in time I dropped to my knees and I felt my hair crackle and singe.
