“Oh jeez,” he moaned. “It’s discount uggs for women so far ... I don’t know if ...” He stumbled again, nearly lost his balance. And he wasn’t clapping with the rest of us. I could almost feel his terror, his overwhelming urge to flee.
     “David you stay with us—if you go on your own—you’ll never make it—are you listening?” David moaned, “I don’t know ... Jack ... I don’t know if I can ...” He stumbled again, bumped into Rosie, ugg boots discount outlet who fell against Charley, who caught her and pulled her back to her feet. But our flock was knocked into momentary disarray, our coordination gone. Immediately, the swarms turned dense black, coiled and tightened, as if ready to spring. I heard Charley whisper “Oh fuck,” under his breath, and indeed, for a moment I thought he was right, and that it was all over.
     But then ugg boots on sale we regained our rhythm, and immediately the swarms rose up, returned to normal. Their dense blackness faded. They resumed their steady pulsing. They followed us into the next room. But still they did not attack. We were now about twenty feet from the back door, the same door we had come in. I started to feel optimistic. For the first time, I thought it was cheap uggs online possible we really might make it.
     And then, in an instant, everything went to hell.
     David Brooks bolted.
     We were well into the back room, and about to work our way around the freestanding shelves in the center of the room, when he ran straight between the swarms and past them, heading for the far door.
     The swarms instantly spun and chased him.
     Rosie was screaming for him to come uggs discount back, but David was focused on the door. The swarms pursued him with surprising speed. David had almost reached the door—his hand was reaching for the doorknob—when one swarm sank low, and spread itself across the floor ahead of him, turning it black.
     The moment David Brooks reached the black surface, his feet shot out from under him, as if he had stepped on ice. He uggs discount howled in pain as he slammed onto the concrete, and immediately tried to scramble to his feet again, but he couldn’t get up; he kept slipping and falling, again and again. His eyeglasses shattered; the frames cut his nose. His lips were coated with swirling black residue. He started to have trouble breathing.
