It was Umeko’s party trick since she was a teenager. She was
barely over five foot, maybe a hundred pounds soaking wet with bricks in her
handbag, and yet, upon request, she could ask anyone to stand a few feet away
from her, and then with a sudden leap, she’d go from vertical to horizontal and
(almost) always knock you down hard.
She’d learned it as a kid from her father, and like most
good party tricks it was impressive, but useless.
Right up until the time she noticed this allergic idiot
about to bite down on a prawn ball.
