[the minute that tank rolls onto the scene Hazel is forced to pause the game for a moment. she leans her head against the bed behind her, screws her eyes shut, and lets out a softly strangled scream. why this? was it because she was playing a freemium game without making any purchases? was this her karmic vengeance??
but even if it was, that didn't mean she was going to give up without a fight. tantrum finished, she unpauses and returns grimly to her work. this game isn't an endless runner - it has a finite number of levels and she's approaching the end of them - so she'd been saving something for a particularly dire turn in the last or penultimate stage. this isn't either of those, but did it matter when a loss here would mean setting herself back two or three levels?
(she really needed to be more judicious about saving)
the answer, of course, is no. and so Hazel drops her secret weapon, some kind of fullscreen bomb that takes a huge chunk out of the remaining forces and staggers the others. she doesn't have a lot left to place but sets them up as best she can, trying to at least slow them down so the damage can rack up-
three tiles away from her final structure, the last enemy finally melts into some sort of amorphous corpse. she did it.]
Jesus shit fucking christ almighty.
[the save is immediate because like hell she's going through that again. but Hazel lingers at the main menu rather than charging on to the next level, because man does she need a second to recover from that. stupid phone games.]
