The crypt was fetid with wet air and dust. Light pierced through the particles and cobwebs, focusing on an elevated pillar in the center of the tomb. The impression of a forgotten relic from an ancient world remained where its occupant had long since abandoned. Without thought or precaution the lever to the activator was thrown, launching darts from concealed recesses propelled by fierce jets of air. The threat was real and the poison was lethal.

Have you ever had a migraine? I had always thought they were bullshit. Commercials for Imitrex, the constant womping from people who had them, etc. It would seem, however, justice is wrought in the forge of ignorance. After subscribing to a new medication, I am more prone to migraines than headaches. After only three, I am already able to verify, empathize, and console others who suffer migraines. The commercials are a bit extreme; I have never wanted to kill myself or anything, but bright lights and striking sounds are strictly out of the question.

No pain, no gain they say. Clearly, I am gaining telekinetic powers.
