You saw your life flash before your eyes as you were cornered, surrounded on all sides by muggers who wanted your phone and valuables.

You knew you shouldn’t have taken this shortcut in the darkness, but the cold night and rain had made you risk it, and now you were facing the consequences.

“Phone and watch now!”

One of them demands as they draw a knife from their pocket, the blade gleaming in the moonlight.

As you reach for your phone, you hear the sound of screams and grunts around you. One by one the assailants fall to the floor, blood trickling from their bodies as they gasp their last breaths.

Your heart thumps in your chest as you glance up to see Laura stood in front of you, her knuckles bloody.

“Are you okay?”

She asks calmly, looking at you for wounds or injuries.
