<p><i>This continues Roi’s controlled dream from last week.</i></p>
<p><i>Get away! Keep running!</i> But Snowy was frozen in shock just long enough for the gasping giant to grab his arm and swing him against the wall, hard enough that Snowy felt bones splinter. The guard must have felt it, too, and known he was in trouble for damaging his owner’s property. His eyes flicked to the balcony railing, and he made a sudden dive for Snowy. Something in Snowy’s mind knew the guard’s intention and struck out is frantic self-preservation, and at the same instant Snowy was inside the guard’s mind, somersaulting over the balcony railing and falling, screaming, to the stone-paved floor below, while the slave he had intended to destroy before  it could communicate what he’d done huddled on the balcony above ….</p>
<p><i>If you’ve been wondering about that “I think I killed a man,” this is what Roi remembers.</i></p>
<p><i>Next week I’m going back to to the hang gliding in </i>Tourist Trap<i>.<br />
