It played out like a crappy movie scene. So he and an antagonistic second person took the situation to the next level. The other, in an angry whirlwind, pulled his weapon and pulled the trigger.

And the simple, finger-sized chain was changed into a hero rallying miracle. The men behind the guns launched the bullet; the men would show no heat, no dissonance to the demand imposed by act the ammunition had roamed to its counterbalance of heavy links of metal. It lodged itself deep, deep in the chain, rather than flesh and bone.
