• Just because I can create things doesn’t mean they always have to be visible. In this case, my defense screen was something neither of us could see, a concentrated cloud of carbon dioxide. It’s basic chemistry: no oxygen, no fire. No fire, no burned-to-a-crisp Daniel.

• I didn’t know if Vlad was a fan of Westerns, but the silence reminded me of the tension at the O.K. Corral just before the big gunfight erupts. All we needed was tumbleweed bouncing across the street between us and the scene would have been complete.
