When I got to the bottom bruised all over with a bloody cut on my forehead, I looked up to see that the sword was headed straight for my head. It all happened so fast that I couldn't do anything but watch as death headed straight for me. Then suddenly a bright light appeared and the sword stopped in mid air half an inch away from my eye.
