Breaking the Grip
Flesh surrounds me. A colossal thumb rests right against my shoulder. Unacceptable. I brace my core and flex my clenched fists. Power surges into my boots. With a deliberate shift of weight, I shove hard against the giant fingertip. It gives way slightly under my force, yielding space. I stand upright under my own balance now, surveying the dim room below.
