Deathlands 124: Child of Slaughter
“As the shell from the shifters’ big blaster soared toward his roost, he scrambled down the back side of the hill as fast as he could.Holding tight to his longblaster, he descended the sandy slope in leaps and bounds, mentally bracing himself for the impact. It came within seconds, when he was three-quarters of the way to the bottom.The shell burst against the opposite face of the hill with enough force to kick his legs out from under him. Amid a shower of debris, he slid and tumbled the next thirty feet to the base of the hill, coming down on his back and shoulders.Wincing at the painful landing, Ryan threw himself over to get his hands and knees under him. He quickly boosted himself into a runner’s crouch, then got all the way to a standing position.As far as he could tell, his back and shoulders were the worst of his injuries. Nothing was broken, and he’d managed to hold on to his weapons and ammo.It wasn’t a bad result, but he couldn’t afford to waste time counting his blessings.
