#136 :: Battle Suit
Encased in an armored shell with a clamshell hatch that is probably lined with heads-up displays and chin and tongue controls, the occupant of this suit - from some obscure animé series - would have to be psychologically conditioned against claustrophobia. Picture it - you've just taken a catastrophic hit on the battlefield. Exotic alloys and fluid damping systems have protected your life, but your power is out. The emergency backup has failed, and only a battery-powered trouble light inside the suit is showing you a dim view of dead screens. The suit is too heavy to be shifted without power. YOu lie there, breathing your last few gallons of air now that the AC unit has quit, unable to see whatever it is that is rumbling towards your prone form, unable to defend yourself. Unable to move.
whoa, where did you get this? just a suggestion but you should post where you get each object. like your blog its interesting and fun.

And while I didn't do it here, I often mention where the objects come from, when the mood strikes. Thanks for reading HLO. I enjoy making it.
