Jaws- Repeated Attacks

"Boy?" said Hendricks. "What boy? This was a man, an old man. Five minutes ago. He was just beyond the surf, and suddenly he screamed bloody murder and his head went under water and it came up again and he screamed something else and then he went down again. There was all this splashing around, and blood was flying all over the place. The fish kept coming back and hitting him again and again and again. That's the biggest fuckin' fish I ever saw in my whole life, big as a fuckin' station wagon. I went in up to my waist and tried to get to the guy, but the fish kept hitting him."
	Hendricks paused, staring at the floor. His breath squeezed out of his chest in short bursts. "Then the fish quit. Maybe he went away, I don't know. I waded out to where the guy was floating. His face was in the water. I took hold of one of his arms and pulled." Brody said, "And?"
	"It came off in my hand. The fish must have chewed right through it, all but a little bit of skin." Hendricks looked up, his eyes red and filling with tears of exhaustion and fright.
