Lingyun swore loudly enough that I was pretty sure at least three religions were offended while flames exploded from both of his hands in violent bursts. Fire rolled across the concrete floor toward the nearest wave of rats, and for one glorious second, I thought the problem might solve itself.
Then the burning rats kept running.

That would teach me to hope for the best.
There was no time to think, no time to really process anything before the warehouse erupted into noise.
The sound of shrieking came from all sides and I couldn't tell if it was from a human mouth or a rodent. The scratching sound that would haunt me for at least a few hours was definitely rodent... and the wet chewing sounds I prayed was from a rat.
Otherwise.... I'd be having nightmares for a whole different reason.
