Bri screamed as the wall crumbled like building blocks, reactively swinging the small hatchet wildly.  It flew through the air and bounced off of the stranger like his skin was made of titanium.  She skittered backwards, tripping over the dog bed, falling flat on her ass.  The blanket was too small to cover all of her, exposing her to the open, and she scrambled to cover herself, only succeeding in flashing her upper body in the process.

"Please, just...kill me.  Please don't take me back there, please, don't make me go through it all again, please..."
