Hello! Welcome to another #sffsat snippet, and I'm continuing with Nocturnelle's fall to her...death? Before I share, I need to explain that her superpower is a second skin that makes her invulnerable, and has certain other interesting abilities. You're about to discover how her encounter with a super-cooled coffin had rendered one of her powers useless...
I'm going to die...It was an idle thought. Would she? Falling from this height, without her skin to hold her back, would it kill her? She'd never put such a thing to the test.

And she wouldn't now. She tugged at the
skin at her back. It tore as she pulled. The black membrane fluttered uselessly
in a mass of tatters and holes, sending her into a spin.
No! She'd lost chunks of it to the super-cooled
sarcophagus. Resistant to bullets, blades and heat, but not to extreme cold it
would seem. Black lace wrapped her in a deadly embrace as she tumbled. Oh no! How will she get out of this alive?! :P

Uh oh...sounds like trouble is speeding right along in this one...
ReplyDeleteIt'll teach her not to be so reliant on her supposed invulnerability, though. :P
DeleteFalling to your death is never the opportune time for new discoveries - unless that discovery is a parachute. Super cooled sarcophagus - sounds like a rock band - just liked the way this phrase flowed. As always - a great fun snippet!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Hmm, a rock band huh? *ponders*
DeleteDoes she have any friends nearby?
ReplyDeleteNo spoilers!
DeleteI know how... heheheh!
ReplyDeleteShh!
DeleteThat can't be good. I hope there's something soft for her to land on!
ReplyDeleteI love the image of the deadly embrace - I hope we get to see how this works out next week!
ReplyDeleteThis is not a good situation for her. Nope. Not good at all.
