Uses forcefield range to test for threats

I landed with enough force it made my knees and hips hurt. I navigated around the slices in reality, putting out one of my forcefield hands that I could afford to lose.

The distinction between one place and another was clear. The air lensed, like I was looking through prisms, magnifying glasses, or water droplets. But when it was air meeting air, there was little distinction. Perhaps temperature.

I walked across a landscape that looked like a stained glass window, with some 'panels' filled with snowy urban area and others with soil. Drawn in every hard-edged shape that wasn't a square, some extending up or down.

The forcefield died. I had to experiment to see why. Certain pockets of air close to the cracks were dangerous, slicing any passing limb by sending different portions to different realities. Like thickets of nigh-invisible, ultra-sharp brambles.
