Escaping the Hollow, Mt Fuji

I’m revising and editing my first draft. Here’s a snippet you might enjoy from chapter 5:

The shaft walls that have so long contained them fall away as they burst into the open air of the underground train station in a near vertical dive. Chip banks hard to exit their precipitous fall, pulling up in a long, torturous arc, nearly kissing the ground. Faith instinctively lifts her legs as they skim the railroad tracks.

Nothing like g-forces to test the bonds of a friendship.

The howling vortex of wind blurs the station lights into sheer streaks of neon. She cranes her neck to glimpse Grace, wide-eyed yet stalwart, clinging to Chip’s twisting frame. The g-forces take their toll on the only human passenger. Faith flexes her thighs and glutes in a vain attempt to maintain blood flow to her brain. She passes out, going limp in her harness.
