Cool, you went for heroic rather than tragic as most of the entries so far have been. Great details: like the dropping of the paper and the hose and the “O”-shaped mouth of the neighbor.

It’s a bit tricky describing a slow movement in 1024 characters and still get the rest of the story in. Good job. LOL at the “thousand bats screeching”

Great job! This was a tough one. You covered everything wonderfully.

Very exciting and a good job on the slow down all the way through to a surprise ending. I really thought we were going to have a tragedy here.

I love it! ;)
Clark Kent strikes again! :)
Ok I opened up the door my geeky world a little too wide there.
