Sohalia
Soh tried to dart around the man when he stepped towards her purse, but she was too slow and the alleyway too narrow: the man snagged her around the waist and flung her backwards. She hit the wall behind her with a resounding crack! and slumped to the ground, dazed, watching with distant horror as the man approached her, grinning evilly. The man reached for her, and Soh panicked, struggling to rise from the ground and get into a position where she could fight back.
The man punched her in the face.
Down she went, reeling and disoriented, the left side of her face on fire. A hand came up instinctively to cradle her cheek as tears began to fall from her eyes. She looked back to find the man reaching for her again, grabbing her by the hair to drag her back up. She shrieked in pain, clawing at the man's hand, eliciting a hiss from him as her nails bit into his flesh. He released his hold on her hair, only to grab her and pin her against the wall again when she tried to run.
