Luci tried to crawl forward as Emma hit the ground. He heard her head hit the concrete floor with a resounding whack that Luci almost felt in his own bones. The decaying ooze kept him from moving forward, dragging him backward as he struggled against it. Pulling one hand free nearly toppled him. He roared in outrage, shoving himself forward and felt the slime surge upward even faster. Feeling himself slip, he panicked and shouted Emma’s name. He wasn’t going to make it. He knew that now, but he was going to do his damndest to try. The slime slithered up his arms, yanking him to the ground and he fell into it, unable to resist, arm outstretched towards Emma as it covered him over.

Emma’s head swam. She reached for Luci as he fell under the slime, but he disappeared
