The air thickened with a metallic taste like molasse pressing against his chest Is one line which doesn't make sense if you think about it: does molasses thicken with a metallic taste in relation to the air? Also it would make more sense if he had a metallic taste in his mouth instead of it being in the air. I would reframe it in a way like: The taste of something metallic was left on his tongue, a heaviness pressed against him, he couldn't escape its hold. A soundless scream welled in his throat and yet no sound could be expressed.
Another suggestion is using bold to emphasize sound-effects and using it as a way to draw attention to a cliff-hanger is also really good that you can utilize!
I think this has a lot of potential and with some careful attention I can see this story unravel itself quite beautifully. ,,[(''w''..// 🤩.
