You stand over Tom and place your hands around his neck, choking him with the full weight of your body pressing down. Arms wrap around your chest and throat, yanking you back. Though you resist and continue to squeeze Tom's neck, the grip around your throat compresses and twists, cutting your own air supply.

"Get off!"

You hear Mindy's voice screaming at you, and finally you lose balance and are pulled off Tom. Your back arches as Mindy tugs at your neck and shoulder, and you spin sideways in a quick motion and fall to the floor as her arms slide away. Air fills your nostrils, and you cough as you stand. Vision blurry, you make out Mindy's wavy image standing between you and a passed-out Tom. She checks his pulse and listens to his breathing before turning to you.

"What the hell are you doing?" Mindy says with her hand waving in front of her like an angry teacher.
