Chapter 11: Death and Lust
Death and Lust
I sprinted toward the building, but the difference in speed between the creature and me—more precisely, our difference in jumping ability—was too great.
[Dodge!]
Without even checking behind me, I rolled to the side at Artemis’s warning.
Boom!
At the same time, the massive body slammed into the spot where I had just been. The impact was so powerful that the shockwave disrupted my stance.
I quickly got up and started running again, feeling the creature’s hand swipe at my back. It missed by a hair’s breadth, but the unpleasant gust of wind cut into my neck.
Thud! Thud!
I could hear the sound of cars bouncing off each other as they were hit by the mutant that chased me in a straight line. Eventually, a car flying from behind collided with the sedan in front of me, blocking my path and forcing me to crash into it and stop.
