Was that a sword? No way, that was huge! He had to be something other than human if he was carrying that like it was nothing. She felt a tingle of excitement at an obvious hint of strength, was it just normal metal? How fast could he move? Only one way to find out.
“Hey! Man with the giant sword! Wait up a se-”
Her voice was temporarily drowned out by the screech of tyres as a large vehicle hurtled around the corner. It bounced slightly as it’s back wheels hit the curb and then it was gone. Phew, that was close.
“Oh.” Not close enough, it seemed.
A steel rod, scaffolding or some other construction material, had speared her just below the very centre of her chest.
“Uh. I’m all right. Probably. Can you give me a hand with this?”
