Poh hauled me backward toward another cubicle. Inside of it, someone sat drooped in the seat, facing away from us. A female, with a gaping hole in her skull and blood plastering her curly long hair to the back of the seat. Her head shifted, and her chair began to slowly turn around as if she'd sensed my presence.
I leaped back, choking on my terror. Poh's fingers slipped off my shoulder.
Click, click, click. The Saelises were almost upon us.
I couldn't stay here with the dead woman because she might attack. The chains in my mouth didn't appear to repel her. I couldn't pass her through me. An entrance to another cubicle yawned open across the aisle to my left. Before the woman had turned her chair all the way around, I lunged toward the opposite cubicle.
Poh's fingers weaved through the ends of my hair, but it was too late. We were separated. And I was no longer invisible to the Saelis.
