Game Over

Something jumped on Jesse and grabbed George's shirt on the way down. Jesse expected to hit the ground very hard, and very soon. In a few seconds even, but he didn't. They just kept falling. Jesse looked up and saw that George had been dragged down as well. What was going on here? Everything was turning upside down and this way and that. The fall was disorienting all senses. Jesse could feel a scream rising in his throat, but it never came out. It got stuck there, and blocked any sound from escaping.
