Another’s Prey

I saw a bar on my wrist unit that was bright red from one end to the other. I put my finger on the far right of the line and slid it all the way down to the left, not too sure what that would do.

When I dropped out of the air like a rock, I understood that that bar controlled how much power went into my anti-gravity setting.

Trying not to panic at how quickly the ground was coming up to meet me, I slid my finger to the right about halfway up.  Thinking that this was the 'middle' setting, I was extremely disappointed when I, once again, shot back up into the air.

Feeling more like a yoyo than a human, I moved the bright red bar down less than a millimeter. This time I fell toward the ground, but in a slower manner. Thinking that this setting would bring me back down into the jungle, I didn't touch the setting again.
