If the blade is sharp enough and the wielder uses enough force, it is possible for us to be completely decapitated. It'd be nice if I could die a quick, painless death, at least. (of course, now he just thinks he jinxed it, and if there really is some ax wielding murderer behind them, he'll be stabbed like 20 times before dying.

he turns around just barely to sneak a peak at the shadow again, noticing it has shortened the distance between the cart and itself, and almost seems... more looming.) Did... it get closer? And bigger?
