oo, upped the ante a bit with is immanent demise, how will he get out of this?? :)

Very exciting, and a classic sort of ‘oh crap’ scenario. You’ve got a doubled ‘above’ near the end, and did you mean ‘shimmied’ near the beginning?
Typos aside, a very nicely, cleanly told bit of excitement. I liked all the little extra details thrown in, like his previous jumping experience.

Nice job on this. You’ve kept the flavor and raised the tension. I wonder what will happen if the Plagueborn tries to help Curtis up? Will Curtis refuse and risk his life? Question: Why would the Plagueborn be chasing Curtis in the first place? hmm… Well done!

I’ll take it! You are welcome to prequel or sequel any of my stories. The invitation is open to anyone anyway but I was using it as a kudos for continuing the story. Sort of like the ending to Top Gun.

Ahh, thanks for the grammar notes :) I wrote this at about 11pm, so I apologise for the slight shoddiness.

And thanks for all the comments guy, I’m glad you liked it!
