"Ow! Ow. Ow. Ow." Madeleine Vallejo rips the visor away from her face and throws it across the room. She strips the gloves away from her hands as she scrambles to get away from her deck. Parts of it are dull red with heat.
As she watches, the deck sighs and sags. Some of the less durable plastics surrender to the intense heat it is generating. She runs to her kitchen for a fire extinguisher. When she comes back, there are flames to douse, so she does.
She looks at her ruined deck, veteran of a thousand audacious runs, and swears long and loud, loud and long.
And when she is done, she begins to tremble.
Just before she'd jacked out (or been pushed out), she'd heard a voice hollow and distant, just inside her ear.
