Daniel felt a light pain on his arm which caused him to mess around with the wheels of the vehicle a bit.
"Is everything okay? I can drive if you're not feeling well" Angus suggested.
"I'm fine, don't worry about it just a slight pain on my shoulder, it's gone now"
"I didn't know those blows affected your shoulders too, Stephen must be a heavy hitter"
Daniel neglected his friends remarks and focused on the road, if Angus hadn't assured him of his safety he probably would have thought that Stephen was doing something to him. The pain his shoulder had subsided almost immediately, and Daniel concluded it must have been a strained muscle, it had probably healed up and there was nothing to worry about.
Daniel froze in place as a heavy pressure descended upon him and pinned him down on the seat. It was as if the air itself had turned to a deep ocean and he was standing right at the bottom, bearing all the crushing weight atop his very soul.
