Sneak Peek: “We’re Living Like We’re Gods”
Always with the fucking underground bases, he thought even as his heart jumped into his throat and he began to fall. He flung out his hands, arms thudding against the grass, painfully jarring his entire body. His fingers twisted into the short blades, sinking slightly into the dirt and for a second he thought he had it, before the added weight of his wings dragged him down, fingers scrambling for something to grab onto, nails dragging rivulets through the grass as he slipped into the earth. It was pitch black as he fell, and with no other options, he slammed the button on his chest to activate his wings. They whirred to life, beginning to open, and he had another second’s worth of hope before they hit the sides of the tunnel with a horrifying screech, sparks flying around him and illuminating just how narrow it was.
