again my mind drifted back to the nightmare and pain shot through me when I felt the electric bullet biting into my back, depositing its poison into me. It wasn’t actually a poison, but a corrosive concoction that made the victim burn from the inside. The pain that it created was enough to paralyze the victim, sometimes even kill

from the bullet combined with the pain that pierced from my toe, caused my heart to clench painfully, rendering me breathless!

I wasn’t going to have another bullet bite into me, not while I already had some poison running through my stream. I
