I think I might have knocked out 2 or 3 people.
Either by shocking them
or
by having my tail side swipe them across the face.
I can't last long. Salt. I need it.
Deena's Diner must hold some shakers.
Flop
The door opens.
Flop.
I enter.
Flop.
Another one down.
I grab the salt shaker. Throw the top in the direction of the stunned body on the floor. I gulp down the salt.
Flop.
The ground darkens.
A shadow.
He's here.
I take three breaths, lift my gloved-covered hand, and BLAT! Suddenly my feet are swept from under me, and I hit the germ-invested sidewalk with a smack. Through bleary eyes, I am able to make out the silver-green scales of a tail.
ReplyDelete"That damn merman knocked you down, so you need to get some energy back in ya!"
He whips around, and his tail whips, too. There's a flash of silver-green as his tail swats my face, and then blackness.
