After the overwhelming crash had passed and the loud clatter of ice sliding down rooftops had begun to subside, he could hear the sounds of human suffering. It was these wails of shock and pain that shook him back to his senses. He glanced back and forth, taking stock of the situation. Was the entire crowd crushed under the ice, or were there enough panicked people left that the protection of the door remained a priority?
Maybe none of that mattered now. Before him was a sea of suffering. There must be dozens if not hundreds of people who were hurt or trapped but could still be saved. Gilplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigGuillaume
