Excerpt: Raptor

"I fell backwards as all of the energy granted to me by my adrenals flooded out of my body in one great wave. My breathing became shallow. All I could do was mumble to myself, over and over again. 'He's dead. He's dead. He's dead. He's dead.' My only possible source of information was gone. As the hormones in my system began to level out, a slow and creeping panic began to overtake me. I had just killed a man. I certainly had no clue what the legal system of this place was like, but it was highly unlikely that I would be able to get away without some sort of action being taken against me. My mind was made up almost immediately. I had to flee."
