She opened her eyes slowly for the light of the day was blinding her. Her long black eyelashes fluttered like a kingfisher's wings for a moment. As if overcome by an explosion of confidence she ripped her eyes wide open. Of such power was her gaze that the world did not define her, but she defined the world.
Every leaf of every tree gained a unique set of veins and thickness, every stone its own weight and texture. The rivers started flowing in patterns, the winds influenced each other according to intricate laws of logic. Every molecule, atom and quartz connected, cooperated, interplayed, joined and merged, created networks and relationships with each other.
Reality started moving according to a wonderfully scripted choreography, a symphony of all things intermingling.
Then her gaze fell upon him and with it reality was ripped in two - incomprehensible and confusing.

Tiny People

Rukwanah scrambled out of the dark tunnel and wiped of the slime and muck that was sticking to his overall. The device was deployed and he had only seconds before it would trigger a blast that could destroy entire cities. He started running towards his friends who were hiding in the nearby forest. As he came nearer he could see the fear in their faces as they stared back at him. Was it too late? He tried running even faster on the soft ground. He slipped. Even as he struggled to get up he could feel how a strong force was pulling him back towards the mound the cave. A glance backwards revealed that it had started.

Rukwanah send a short prayer to the gods before he was sucked back into the dark cave. His tiny body shot through the air. In a motion that was mere reflex his hands grasped at the black thorns growing at the entry of the cave. His arm jerked and was ripped out of its socket but he was taken no further inside. The small man knew that this was only the beginning though. The sucking force died down. Rukwanah saw his life go past his inner eye.

TSHOOOOOOOOOOhhh!
