the approaching forms a second later. They were moving far more quickly

they were at the edge of a spatial distortion.
“Is anyone else’s HUD glitching?” Ari asked.
“That’s not a glitch… Run!” Kira about-faced and sprinted toward the
exit.
Proximity alerts flashed across her HUD. Before she could react,
something swatted her legs out from under her.
She stumbled to the side, smacking the wall and then falling to her back.
