Marcus didn’t push him to continue; he simply waited for Daniel to gather himself, and Daniel was grateful for the small mercy. “Then he reached out for me. I couldn’t move, and he almost had me when his head blew up.”

That certainly had Marcus sitting up straighter. “Blew up?”

A super fun challenge over at writerverse that had us creating out own book covers! I chose Semper Fi, because despite my glacial slowness in writing, it's the story I love the most. :D
