It happens all at once, with the instant flash of long expected catastrophe. Something trips my foot. I pitch forward, scrambling to stay vertical, the dying match singeing my fingers as it flies from my hand. Pain stabs my upper arm as it bashes against a jut of unforgiving metal. And suddenly, I am tackled by a monster, shapeless, enormous, cold as death. Its crushing weight drops me flat, smashes my face against the stone floor. For a second the thing doesn't move ... It won't, of course. I know by now it is dead.
