Miles - Impacts ground hard enough to send pavement flying

A red-gloved hand is clamped around my neck from behind faster than I can react, and I let go of my web and claw at her fingers, so distracted by having my airflow cut off suddenly that I can’t defend against being flipped over onto my back. I feel myself falling, and I hear my mom screaming, and even though I can feel myself losing air, I cradle myself around her and absorb all of the impact.

BOOM!

And we go tumbling, pavement chunks flying all over the place.
