Behind me, death was gaining. Teeth gritted, my arms pumping, my legs stretching as far as they would go, I banked right around a corner of more cells.
Movement flashed from my left. Another massive wheel barreled toward me at top speed. It wasn't until I threw myself around another corner, just in time, that I realized where the wheels came from. The walls weren't curved; they were all made up of these...things that could grind me into dust. I had to stay away from the walls, then. And get the fuck out of here.
I turned my head and nearly leaped out of my bones at how close the wheel was, so close I could hear the gears whirring faintly within. I took a hard left, then a right. It turned with ease as though it were only a ghost, and it plowed down the aisle after me.
