Only a short distance from the front door, she tripped on a loose tile and fell to the ground, skinning the palms of her hands and her knees. The shock paused her long enough for the mob to catch up with her and their leader raised a metal club to hit her. Suddenly, he was thrown back and so were most of the other drunks.
