George realized he had made a mistake, a fatal one at that. His strategy had been perfect, and the same went for his execution. He had surpassed his limits by leaps and bounds, improving as a swordsman in the process.
Yet, George had also built that strategy upon a flawed foundation. He had believed the bald alien had already shown most of his power and abilities, which turned out to be wrong.
Of course, George had accounted for and had been ready for variables, but the evolved warrior had also been perfect. His sneaky counterattack couldn't have had better timing. That truth was so evident that even George's subconscious realized it.
George's arms had moved on their own throughout the battle, but remained still now. His entire being understood how hopeless his predicament was, making any attempt to escape it pointless.
