Snatcher - Claw

  “F ck—” Ken begins, but the “you” is forever truncated by one of the creatures plunging its claws into his chest, snapping his ribs like a Thanksgiving day wishbone. Pain, unlike any he’s ever felt, seizes every inch of his body. He can’t scream, cannot raise his arms to protect his face against the raw malice dripping from the creature’s toothy maw.
