In the novel "Invincible" by Sherrilyn Kenyon, the protagonist Nick Gautier finds himself in a life-threatening situation. As he faces imminent danger, the cliché notion of having one’s life flash before their eyes is contradicted. Instead of reflecting on his past, all Nick can focus on is the terrifying sight of Kyrian Hunter's fangs, a vivid reminder of the peril he is in.

This moment captures Nick's fear and the grim reality of his circumstances. It highlights the intense and often unexpected nature of life-and-death experiences, emphasizing that in critical moments, thoughts can be consumed by immediate threats rather than reflective memories.
