In a vast, barren plain, a woman lay crushed. Her scream echoed in the heavy air, but there was no one to hear it. Her body twisted under the pressure, her bones cracking as she fought in vain to break free.
She struggled, her breath ragged, muscles taut to their limit. Her hands clawed at the dry ground, searching for a hold, something to grasp. But there was nothing. An invisible force pinned her down, relentless, as if the weight of the sky itself pressed upon her.
She let out another scream, piercing the oppressive air of the empty plain, but only silence answered. No one could hear her. No one would come to her aid.
And yet...
She clenched her teeth, and despite the pain, despite the crushing force, she gathered what little willpower remained.
The ground beneath her vibrated, as if something massive was moving around her. The invisible forces continued to trample her.
