Temporary Escape

VA-DUUUMM!

Dust and smoke filled the room, began filling Mouse’s lungs. She could not see anything. Her ears rang. Pain shot through her entire body. She felt her body flying through the air.

She did not know how, but she continued to fly. She flew higher and higher until Dragon’s Lair was just a speck. All about her were gentle clouds set on calm blue skies, and for a moment everything was a distant memory, maybe even just a bad dream.

Then she began to fall.

She plummeted to the ground.

Faster—

—and faster.

Just before impact she opened her eyes.
