My nap was sadly far too short. I was woken by the sounds of railroad brakes, blaring alarms, and doors being forced open. I snapped bolt upright, as round metal canisters were lobbed through open doors. No one else seemed to be awake yet, even the psychic. Another problem she didn’t predict or was there something else going on?

I was already holding my breath when the canisters hit the ground and started to spew gas and made it to the door right as a man in rag-tag fatigues and a gas mask walked in. I didn’t bother to wait for any identification or to see if he was going to pull the trigger on the automatic rifle he was carrying, I just barreled right into him. As my momentum carried us the entire length of the car into the opposite wall, I had realized that I had instinctively dropped into that sublime state of focus I had before. I could hear the slow-motion crack of broken ribs as I drove his rifle sideways into his chest. He slumped against the compartment wall as I sprang back to my feet, ears keen to the sounds of more combat boots on the floor behind me.

My mind and senses were in overdrive. Even through the slowly seeping gas, I could lay eyes on three more of these paramilitary goons, each dressed in their own variation of camouflage and military surplus clothing. What didn’t look like it came from an Army-Navy store were their weapons. Clean, shiny, and deadly is what they looked like.

They were quite heavy, even after dispensing their payload, so I threw it with all my might as I ran, aiming right for the small of the nearest gunman’s back. I felt my body moving with grace I didn’t know I had and sent the metal projectile winging off. He seemed to hear the movement through the air right before it hit as he started to turn into the throw.

The canister slammed against his humerus. The gun dropped to the deck as the man let out a muffled howl of pain, clutching his arm. That howl brought the attention of his two friends. If they had had any care for the safety of their compatriots, there was no chance they would try to shoot at me with him still standing and me so far down the car.

Much to my surprise, both gunmen started shooting, spraying bullets down the length of the rail car. If I hadn’t been in that mysterious state of focus, I would have certainly been shot if not killed. However, with time
