3 Necropolis: Scene 3: Demon Encounter

As the air grew cold fast, Nero could feel frost gather on his eyelashes, he reaches for his gun. Suddenly a fist the size of a Mack truck, cold, covered in thorns, crashes into his chest, picking him up and tossing him like a rag-doll through the air. All was spun in time, everything slowed as he felt his body drifting through the air, past, and present slipped. Distantly he felt his body colliding with the opposite wall.
