In the Shadow of Moonlight Illustrations Round 2 (4/4)
<Is it just my imagination, or is something… different?> The ball bounced into the hands of a waiting student. <It seems… slower somehow. Come to think of it, everything has looked a little off. Like the world isn’t moving as fast as it should.>
The teacher threw another ball, and again it appeared to move a hair more slowly than her brain was accustomed to expect. He repeated tossing the ball for each court in succession, and each time Sophia found herself mesmerized by what she was experiencing. It was less noticeable, but even the teacher’s throwing motion looked oddly sluggish. After a few throws, the mismatch between what her brain expected and what her eyes reported began to narrow, and the feeling of uncanniness waned.
When it got to Sophia’s court, she saw him hesitate for a second before tossing it in her direction. She watched it bounce towards her, feeling strangely detached from her body. Every time it bounced, she felt her eyes smoothly follow its trajectory. As it got nearer, she felt her muscles twitch and slide as her body automatically adjusted to intercept it. The ball bounced one final time, and her legs launched her forward as her hands stretched towards it.
<Got it!> Triumph blossomed as she felt her hands contact the ball, and the smell of rubber entered her nostrils. <Wait…>
The unexpected feeling of her knees contacting the waxed wooden floor interrupted her before her face finished its plunge toward the ball. For a second, she warred with the wolf, driving her to finish sinking her teeth into the ball. Reason won out, and she belatedly realized she was on her knees with her hands pinned to the sides of the ball with her mouth open. Snapping her mouth shut so quickly that her teeth clicked, she looked up to find everyone staring at her.
