For the first time in his time-hopping experience, Luke remembered what it was like to be limited by time. A single typo by some engineer back home had reduced his window of opportunity from thirty days to thirty minutes.
The wounds from his transition still pouring blood, the grey-clad teen ran at a level beyond what he had ever run before, desperate to stop the death of Zephyr Della Robbia, which without his interference would happen in... now 27 minutes. He ran on.
Twenty-five minutes passed, and now Luke could hear the shouting before the shooting. He drew the only weapon he could find as he ran, a short stick shaped conveniently for a strong throw. Just as Zephyr's father raised his pistol, Luke hurled the stick, striking the gun and throwing it out of the man's hand. The drunkard dove for the gun as the teen kept running. Luke launched himself into a flying kick as the gun fired.
The bullet struck Luke in the chest. The kick landed on the man's chin. Both fell, the man already out, the teen rapidly losing his own consciousness. He crawled over to the man to check his pulse before he slumped over. Everything went black.
