Sky was battling the final boss quite nicely and had cut down half its HP when she noticed her email tab flash orange. I'll check that after I finish this, she thought, jabbing F1 on her laptop.

The special attack was deflected.

Of all the--! Sky had enough time to mash a few more buttons before the boss landed a blow on her character and it flew at her screen, producing a glass-shattering effect.

Suddenly the MMO window winked out. She could've sworn her character's shadow stayed for half a second too long. Dammit. I'll have to rerun that dungeon later. Reluctantly, she opened the email without reading the subject line.

Still furious about the boss battle, the blinding light emanating from her screen didn't quite register in her mind.
