(Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit! Shit!)
Under the gentle glow of the full moonlight. A lone hunter sprinted swiftly through the depth of the woods, with a trusty B-A400 shotgun in his hands.
He cuts through the tall grass. He can recall that there’s an abandoned cabin at the other side of this tall grass field, which could be used as a shelter.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyHKP6Eihv
As far as he can tell, he should be about 150 meters away from that cabin.
*GRRRRR*
(Shit! I HAVE TO MAKE IT!)
The hunter ran at his full speed through the tall, wet grass, doing everything he can to get away from it.
*SKREEEEE!*
“!?”
A terrifying roar came from behind. In his panic, he unknowingly pulled the trigger of his gun. He doesn't know if it was hit or not, but he just wanted to scare it away.
*KRRRYYYAAA!!!*
However, the gunfire made the creature angrier, and now, the situation is getting worse.
The hunter is only a few meters away from the cabin.
*ROOOOOAAARRRR!!!*
“!?”
It attacks the hunter from his side, he’s then forced to run away to the other direction. After running for a short period of time, it rushed to attack him again. The sequence happened again and again for a long time until he was finally able to escape.
“Huff…Huff…Argh!”
No time to catch his breath. He quickly sped up his pace. Fortunately, he isn’t that far from the cabin, maybe even closer. Although it feels a little off, he had to thank that creature for this.
*Tuk Tuk Tuk* In the meantime, the sound of swift and steady footsteps are getting closer.
(Please! Please! Please!)
With possibly his full speed, the hunter finally was able to escape to the cabin. He quickly grabs the nearby chairs to block the door. Although quite old, it was currently at least the best he could think of.
“Phew…”
After getting into the safe place, he finally gets some time to catch his breath. He’d have to stay in here until the beast lost interest in him before he could get out.
“*Sniffing* What’s this smell?”
There’s a foul smell inside this cabin. It wasn’t like the smell of rotten wood, but more like blood. Curious, he took out a flashing inside his pocket and shined it.
“What the!?”
And what he sees is the mountain of various animal bones, including…humans, from children and adults, about 3-4 people in total.
Some of the flesh that had not fully decomposed was emitting a foul smell. This must be their nest.
(And now I’m in their nest…bloody hell)
He slightly cursed his luck. But doing so won’t help him get away from that creature. He needs to come up with something…..
“...I need weapons”
Right now, he needs a close range weapon. Just in case he couldn’t use his shotgun, like when the creature sneaks up on him.
He dusted off and looked around, trying to find anything useful. But all he can find are just rotten sticks that would break with the slightest touch and an unpleasant smell.
“God damn it…”
He found nothing…
He found fucking nothing…
Furious, he smacked the ground with his shotgun to vent out his anger. But it accidently hit a piece of bone, making a louder *crack* sound than it should have.
“!?”
But he just realized that doing this was clearly calling them in. He quickly pointed his shotgun at the door. Preparing himself for what’s about to come.
. . . . .
However, it was peaceful. No sound of hissing or groaning at all. Only the sound of the wind and bird chirping.
He knows this is definitely a trap, so he keeps pointing the gun at the door. But after almost half an hour, everything remained calm. No additional or disappearing sounds were heard.
(Is it…gone?)
The hunter looked through the window, before removing the chair and slowly opening the door slightly, he first put the gun out to make sure nothing would chase after him when he left.
(It actually…gone?)
However, he still had to be careful. The hunter keep walking, until the *Thud!* sound coming from the nearby bush. He didn’t hesitate and immediately pointed his gun at that spot.
*Oink! Oink! Oink!*
But what just appeared was only a wild boar.
“Bloody hell. That scare the shit out of me”
As he feels relieved, the hunter notices a large amount of red liquid flowing out of the boar’s body. He immediately realizes that it is blood.
This is getting weird.
*Kekekeke*
A horrifying roar, like that of a psychopath, coming from behind. Along with the sound of something dripping onto the floor.
“.....”
In that moment, he instinctively knows that…he had fallen for their trap.
He slowly turned around, looking dead into their eyes.
“Clever girl…”
That’s a male, by the way.
*SKREEEEE!!!!*

20th of November. 10 AM.
The weekend, plus a compensatory day off, is a great opportunity to hang out with friends.
“You guys ready?”
“I was born ready”
“Hell yeah”
3 university students named Beer, Don and James. Has made a trip to go camping in the forest to take a break from their work.
Luggage and equipment ready, car ready, friends ready, determination ready. Time to go!
From here to the forest is approximately an hour, if they’re lucky enough…45 minutes would do it.
They chose the forest that is possibly the furthest away from people because all three of them are studying in the faculty of science, so they want to be closer to nature than most people.
Another reason is because there are beautiful waterfalls and streams flowing through that area, and it’s also a place that only a few people know about. So it makes it even more worth exploring.
“Holy fuck this traffic…” Beer murmur.
“Hey, do you guys know there’s this creepy story in the place we’re going to?” Asked Don, who’s in the backseat.
“What story?” James asked.
“It’s about a monster that live deep in the mountain name ‘Hellclaws’ ”
“Damn, that’s a cool ass name,” Beer commented.
Deep within the forest, there is a story of a creature lurking in the deepest part of the region—lizard-like monsters that stand on 2 legs, a long body covered in brown fur. Wings stretch from each side of its arms, but can’t fly. It stands as tall as a man, with razor-sharp blade-like teeth, and the most fearsome of all—elongated talon-like claws on both of its toes. Hence ‘The hellclaws’ name.
Normally, sane people would chicken out or laugh it off. But these 3…
“Now, I wanna see it”
“Yeah, I ain’t scare of it”
“I got an axe. We should be fine”
They don’t have any fear…
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1ay8uVcUk
40 minutes later…
They decided to stop at the convenience store to buy some necessities.
This will be the last convenience store before they head into the forest.
“I’ll buy some meatballs”
“Hurry up”
Don go buy some meatballs at the nearby stall.
“This one and this one…”
“Woah, kid. You bought a lot of stuff. You going somewhere?”
“We’re going camping on the mountain over there”
Hm? The vendor was stunned by Don’s answer.
“You mean…the mountain behind us?”
“Yeah?”
The reaction of the vendor made the 3 of them confused. His swear is clearly visible, his eyes are shaking and he also stutters.
“Uncle?”
“Are you sure to go in there?”
“Yes, we’re going camping after all”
James answered his question.
“I think you guys shouldn’t go there, kids. There are monster lurking in there”
“You mean the ‘Hellclaws’ thing?”
“You guys know about it?”
“Yeah. We heard it from our friend” Beer answer.
“Then you kids should’ve known how terrifying those things are. One people here just went missing last month”
Legend has it that, long ago, the ‘Hellclaws’ had no intention of harming humans in the first place. But one day, an innocent local stole its eggs. When the ‘Hellclaws’ found out, it quickly killed them.
When all the locals heard the news, they immediately gathered together to kill them. However, due to its agility and its intelligence, which was much greater than any ordinary animal. It managed to get away, but not without sustaining several wounds.
The hunt lasted for almost a month, and many locals and officials were killed. Eventually, they all gave up and called off the hunt.
However, unknown to them, was that the ‘Hellclaws’ was an extremely vengeful animal. They started to hunt down every single human they encountered, whether they were locals, children, adults, or even tourists.
Any unlucky human who unknowingly steps into their territory will be lured to the deepest part of the forest by the ‘Hellclaws’, where they will play with their prey until they are satisfied, before being eaten…alive.
As of today, only a handful of people managed to get out of there alive.
The vendor tried to convince the 3 of them to change their minds. Because the monsters are so terrifying that the government didn’t want to mess with the creature, to the point where they put up a sign prohibiting people from entering the area.
Even the mighty predator such as tigers or bears, wouldn’t dare to step foot on its territory. Only large herds of elephants can enter.
“I think you guys should not go camping there. It’s dangerous”
The warning from the vendor made James worried.
“Don’t worry, Unc. We won’t step any of our feet into their territory. Plus, we’ll only go for a few nights. We’ll be fine”
But Don insisted that they would go, because they wanted to experience nature, in which Beer agreed.
‘Just be careful’ The vendor gives them one last final warning before handling the meatballs. And the 3 got back in the car.
They keep driving through increasingly less populated areas without stopping at any roadside shops. Because they had already bought everything they needed at the convenience store.
After passing the last village, they entered the forest. The road began to change from paved to gravel, causing the car to shake a lot.
“Have we made it, I’Beer?” Asked Don.
“Still haven’t found a good spot for camping. You got anything, I’James?”
“Wait wait wait, Here!”
James points at the wide open area by a stream on a map he bought from the locals. It’s approximately 20 kilometers away from where they currently are, which should be a good place to set up camp.
After some time, they finally arrive at their destination. It should have taken less time than this, but because the road was extremely narrow and difficult. Plus, it’s a dirt road, so it took much longer than it should have been.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbf91q9xSM
“Sheesh, this is good”
“Damn, what a beautiful scenery”
“What a place”
The green plains along the stream, the sounds of nature and various animals, and the sunlight…what an elegant scenery.
As soon as they parked the car, they immediately took out their phone to take a picture as a memento before each of them went their separate way to do the work.
James is setting up the tent. Don lightens the fire for cooking. And Beer goes to search for the firewood.
If anyone wonders why they don’t use alcohol to light a fire instead, and the answer is simple…they somehow forgot.
It’s currently 4pm. Still plenty of time left to get going, but first they need to set up the tent.
.
.
.
“Hey I’Don, I’m just thinking of something” Said James.
“What?” Don respond.
“Remember when that uncle described what the ‘Hellclaws’ look like?”
“Yeah…why?”
“I just realized…it actually look like some kind of dinosaur”
“Really? what dino?”
“Here”
James show the image of a certain dinosaur that’s actually look identical to the ‘Hellclaws’ to Don
“What the hell is that? It’s look like a velociraptor in Jurassic park”
“Close. It’s actually the ‘Utahraptor’ ”
The Utahraptor, is a genus of a large dromaeosaurid family dinosaur, in a subfamily of dromaeosaurinae. With a length of 6-7 meters, a weight approximately 500 kilograms. It lived during the early Cretaceous from 139-135 millions years ago. It was first unearthed in what is now Utah in the United States of America in 1993.
In simpler terms, it’s like a Velociratoe in movies, that has the weight of a polar bear, is covered in feathers, and as tall as a human being.
When James read this for the first time, he was quite shocked on why the description is so familiar to this dinosaur.
Not only the description, even the composition of what it looks like from the picture that the locals took of it themselves also fit in.
However, Don just laughs it off.
“Ay, all the dinosaurs already went extinct 66 million years ago. And that Utahraptor went extinct before that. Also, did we ever find any Utahraptor in Thailand?”
“You’re right. But still…”
“Don’t worry, the animals are scared of fire. If they really come, just attack them with the firewood. Plus, we have an axe, remember?”
“...We’re really fully armed, holy shit”
Even if they can’t kill them, they should be able to at least chase it away.
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerlrwNLhOq
Meanwhile, Beer is collecting firewood as he hums his favorite music.
Since it is the rainy season, dry branches and sticks are really difficult to find. He has been searching for quite some time, but could only get a handful of it.
Beer is then forced to go deeper in search of them. Luckily, he had brought a flashlight and a short knife with him just in case, because this place is extremely creepy.
“God fucking dammit…I ain’t find nothing”
Just a bunch of animal carcasses. Causing Beer to sigh from exhaustion.
It takes a long time to find any of the good ones. The sound of footsteps on the ground and leaves, both wet and dry, and having to be careful not to step on any small animals or feces of some creature is really annoying.
*Crack!* Suddenly, one of his feet accidentally kicks a rock so hard that it causes him to bleed.
“MOTHERFUCKER–! THAT’S FUCKING HURT!!”
Beer holds his own feet as he jumps around like a cartoon character. Furious, he picks that rock up and throws it away to vent out his anger.
“Now it’s harder to walk, for fuck’s sake”
After calming down, he picked up a pile of dry branches and sticks before heading back to the camp.
*Grrrrr…..*
6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvenCPknOhW
“How the fuck did you bleed so much just from kicking a rock?”
“I’Don, you asshole. Not only you didn’t help me treat the wound, but now you’re making fun of me?”
Right now, Beer and Don are arguing, while James is lighting the fire.
“Let’s treat it with the fire. It might work, " Said James.
“Fuck you too, I’James”
“What? Didn’t you see they usually do this in movies?”
“You tried it first, you numnuts”
“Well, I don’t have any wounds. So what exactly am I supposed to heal?”
“Your brain, apparently”
Lmao, they laugh.
After treating the wounds. Beer comes to help light the fire, while Don goes to get the food from the car.
“?”
Don’s eyes caught sight of the shadow of something far away, deep in the forest on the other side of the road they had taken to get here.
He then brings out the phone and zooms in to take a clearer look, but fails because the forest is too dense and too dark to tell what it is.
“I’Don, what are you up to?” James asked.
“I saw something,” Don answered as he pointed to the forest.
“Where?”
“There. But it’s gone now”
“Was it the thing the vendor told us about?” James asked, jokingly.
“Dumbass. It’d definitely be the most priceless treasure in we caught it”
If they manage to catch that mysterious creature, its value would be enough to feed the 3 of them until their retirement.
There might be some arguing about the money, but that’s a common thing.
James and Don brought the food to Beer, and the 3 of them started cooking.
“Go find some more rocks, I’James”
“Got it”
“I’Don, you set up the grill”
Beer effectively gives out the order, preparing for the night under the moonlight.
.
.
.
.
.
Near the edge of a small stream, neary in the deepest part of the forest.
A herd of deers, leisurely drinking water. The night breeze and the chirping of birds are such a relaxing atmosphere.
One of the deers has split out to nibble a nearby bush. It nibbled along, enjoying itself.
*Crack* A sound of a broken branch, not too far away from them. All the deers quickly regroup for safety.
Right now, they’re extremely cautious at the particular bush in front of them. They now know the predator is close, but they don’t know exactly where they are…
One of the deers stared at the bush in front of them. It can feel something inside the bush. It kept staring until it saw what looked like a pair of eyes…
*Grrrrr…*
Staring at them.
*MWAAAH!!!!!*
The predator leapt out of the bush, causing the deers to scream in panic and run away in all directions.
However, not all of them manage to get away. The predator managed to catch the largest male of the herd, its huge claws had pierced the throat of the unlucky deer. The flesh red blood slowly flowed out, and the unlucky deer died not long after.
*Hrrrggg…*
.
.
.
.
.
A flurry of wild birds burst out from the depth of the forest, followed by the eerie howls.
“3 Queens!”
“FUCK!”
“THIS MOTHERFUCKER WINS AGAIN!?”
Under the dim moonlight of the full moon. 3 full grown men are currently playing poker with great excitement, with modern music blaring at full volume through their large bluetooth speaker.
Beer picked up the meat and veggies that James and Don had bet on and put them on his plate as he laughed at the other 2 like a maniac.
“Did you fucking cheat?”
“Cheat, my ass. You 2 are just suck”
“You little twat…”
In rage, James got up and slapped Beer’s head with a loud *smack!* sound, causing Don to burst out laughing.
“Damn, dude. You’re such a hardcore”
“Asshole. You won 3 times in a row. You definitely cheating”
“No, I’m not~ I’m just really good at this game”
“Yeah yeah, just leave him alone, I’James”
Don quickly interrupted before the fight could happen. But deep down, he really wanted to slap Beer’s head as well because…he did lose a lot.
Furious, James goes to get some more ingredients from the car to get revenge on Beer…because he also lost quite heavily.
“*Sniffing*...What’s this?”
A foul odor came from the other side of the car. At first, James thought it was some spoiled meat. But he soon realized that there’s no way the meat he just bought would spoil this quickly.
Another thing is, James could feel the car leaning to the other side. Although not much, he could feel it.
(It smell like some dead animal)
He slowly opened the window. The smell is getting stronger to the point where James wants to vomit. So he grabs the flashlight in the cae and shines it to see where this unpleasant smell is coming from.
“FUCK ME!?”
It makes James scream like a child.
“What the?”
“I’James! What’s wrong!?”
After hearing the scream, Don and Beer quickly come to check
“THE FUCK IS WRO–! JESUS CHRIST!?”
“THE FUCK IS THIS SMELL!?”
They look at the spot where James pointed to before screaming in unison.
“God damn…”
“What in the…”
And what they saw…was the horrifying carcass of a male deer. There are large wounds in the middle and belly part of the body, showing bones and internal organs flowing out into a pool of blood. The liver, stomach, intestine, lungs or even…the heart, everything got torn into pieces.
As for the head…the upper jaw is missing, the tongue is hanging out, and one eyeball is missing and protruding. The neck got severed, the flesh is gone, leaving only bones, some of them even got bitten and shattered.
“What the shit is this…”
Beer goes to take a look, he shines the flashlight from this phone to examine the body. From what he can tell, it should have been dead for about 30 minutes.
Meaning whatever creature that killed this deer…might be still around.
“What animal could do this to a deer?” Asked Don.
“I dunno. A tiger, maybe?”
It’s true that there might be tigers or other predators in this forest. The possibility of being them is not zero.
But there’s definitely no predator that would leave this much meat behind.
“You think it’s the small or the big one that did it?”
“Fuck’s sake, it’s only either a tiger or a bear that could done this”
“Are there bears around here?”
“Shoot, I don’t even know”
While Beer and Don are arguing, James goes to investigate why the car seems to be oddly leaning to one side.
“Ayo, guys”
“What?”
“The tires are flatten”
James pointed at the punctures on both the front and rear right tires, but fortunately the punctures aren’t too big, so there is still some air left.
But the main issue is the shape of the puncture marks. It looks like someone has used a knife to cut the tires, which no animals could do unless it’s big enough.
“Did you bring any spare tires?”
“I didn’t. Even if we did brought one, we don’t even know how to change it”
“And there’s no signal around here”
Their only option left is to go to the local mechanic. But since it’s so late at night, there probably won't be any mechanic shops that open 24/7, especially in this rural area. It is even more hopeless at this point.
“Shit, so we have to wait until the morning then” Don grouse.
“Seem so. No one is stupid enough to leave at this time. Don’t wanna get lost in this damn forest” James answered.
“You think we could eat it, I’James?”
“I’Don…I don’t think we should steal the prey from its predator”
“I think we should throw this thing away as far as possible. I’James, come help me”
Beer suggested, and James reluctantly agreed, leaving Don to guard the camp alone.
(What a pain in the ass…)
Don spun his pen around while guarding the camp. Many things that happened at once, made Don feel very sick.
While guarding, Don bring out his headphone to listen to some music to relax–
*Crack*
A sound of branch breaking came from his right. When he turned to look, he saw nothing.
*Flick*
That sound again. This time it’s from a bush behind his left.
Don turned to look, but found nothing but a few pieces of branches. Don started to feel uneasy about the situation, so he grabbed the knife and put it nearby just in case.
After observing for a while, everything became quiet. Only the sound of the night breeze and wild birds is present.
(Should be fine…now?)
Still, he kept the knife near him.
Minutes later, there is the sound of footsteps coming from behind. Don turn around slightly before turning back.
“...You guys are already back? Hurry up and grill this chicken, I’m hungry”
The footsteps are louder, as it responds to Don’s command. He picked up a chicken and skewered it before placing it on a grill.
*Cranck Cranck* Now it’s the sound of metals hitting each other from behind. Don thought that the 2 of his friends were messing around, so he turned to scold them in anger.
“What the fuck are you 2 up to!? Hurry up and…….”
Unaware of what earthly thing that made the sound just now…
*keh keh keh keh…*
Is laughing right at his face…
Brown fur, with grey-black mouth covered in bloodstains. The dark brown covers its upper body, while the lighter one covers the lower part. And the most striking things…are the bright red eyes of the creature.
*KRRRYYYYYAAAGGHHH!!!*
“HOLY MOTHERFUCKING SHI–!?”
. . . . .
Few minutes ago…
“This is the spot?”
“Yeah. The smell should go the other way, or else we won’t get any sleep”
Beer and James dragged the deer carcass to the bottom of a hill, approximately 300 meters from their camp. They had to drag it this far because of how bad the smell is.
“It’s fucking pitch black here”
“Yeah, literally–”
*Keh keh keh* Out of nowhere, a sound of an animal's laugh coming from afar.
“...I think we should head back”
“Agreed”
Before leaving, James places down the deer’s head and gives it a proper rest in peace.
They carefully walk through the dark forest. They need to be careful for every step they take to avoid being bitten by any venomous animals.
“Imagine how hilarious it’d be if we found the ‘Hellclaws’ here. Lmao” Beer jokingly said.
“We’ll definitely be laughing in hell hahaha”
“Damn, I don't think I’ll get to meet you guys there”
“Look who said it. You just invited me to play with a prostitute the other day. And you didn’t even pay”
“...Relax, I’ll pay you next month”
As they were joking around, they suddenly heard a scream coming from their camp. The sound lasted around 5 seconds before it became quiet.
James and Beer look at each other before turning back to the source of the sound.
“Shit…Was that I’Don?”
“Only way to find out…hurry up!”
With that, they both hurriedly run back to the camp as fast as possible.
As they’re getting closer to the camp, the smell of blood becomes stronger. Causing James and Beer to panic.’
Minutes after, they finally arrived.
“ “..........” “
They froze, unable to move a thing. Their hands shake as if they are possessed. Their sweat flows down non stop in the temperature of 18 degree Celsius.
Their mouths trembled so much, they couldn’t speak. Their hearts sank to the ground, and their breathing became labored.
“Shit– Ayo– Shit– Fuck– I’Don!?” James scream.
The sight they’re seeing…is the lifeless body of their friend, lying in the pools of blood. The foul odor stench throughout the area.
The corpse itself is unbearable, horrifying beyond recognition—The head had been torn off from the neck, leaving a gaping, blood clotted stump. The chest and abdomen were ripped wide open, exposing a mangle mess of organs inside. The lungs and ribs were crushed into an unrecognizable pulp, soaking in fresh blood. The stomach and intestines had been savage, torn, chewed, and shredded into a stinking mess of half-liquefied flesh and ruptured tissue.
The crotch area was crushed into pieces. Both legs got brutally slashed by sharp objects—jagged flesh and exposed bone twisted into a grotesque display. But the worst of all…is Con’s heart, it’s still beating. It’s pulsing slowly and unnaturally. With every sickening thump, a spurt of blood erupts from it, splattering and pooling into a puddle inside what remained of his body. It was as if the corpse itself…was trying—but failing—to stay alive.
“*Oob…* Bwah!”
James tried to hold back his puke, but failed, so he rushed out to throw up somewhere else. Beer is no different, except he managed to swallow his own vomit, but his knees were so weak he couldn’t stand up.
They both try to gather their wits, analyze and think of solutions to the situation at hand. But right now, neither of them can control themselves.
“Heergh…Haah…*Cough!*”
“Ayo…*Cough*What the fuck is this shit!?”
Both of them try to regain their senses again.
“Cou— Could it be!? Is it really the ‘Hellcalws’!? I’BEER!?”
“How the hell should I know!? It could be a tiger or—”
“FUCK THIS SHIT! I’m leaving!”
If they continue to be agitated and scream loudly like this, they’ll definitely go meet their ancestors. So Beer had to calm him down.
“You—I’James! Calm down! You sho-shouldn’t panic”
“Calm, my ass! Did you not see what it did to I’Don!? Just pack things up and get the fuck out of here”
James immediately packed everythings up, but Beer quickly objected.
“How!? You think we could get to the village with those flatten tires!? And I didn’t even talk about the dirt road out there!”
“It’s still a million times better than getting eaten like I’Don! Just pack everythings up!”
James began to lose his mind. He grabbed a small axe and quickly dismantled the tent, completely ignoring Beer.
*Sign* Beer let out a sign. Deep down he really wants to get out of this place. But running away without a plan during the night with a car in this condition, they definitely won’t make it to the village.
However, they don’t have much choice but to run away.
Since James dismantled the tent. Beer decides to go cleaning up around the campfire. He threw away all the rocks and firewood into the stream, Put all the ingredients in the prepared plastic bag before washing the kitchen equipment.
“Fuck…What do we do with I’Don’s body?”
James walked over to check the body with a sorrowful face as he covered his nose. He tried to back his tears from the loss of his friend. Beer also felt bitter, but they had to do something with Don’s body.
“Fucking cocksucker…”
Just thinking about it makes him feel sick.
There should be some clothes in Don’s bag that can be used to wrap the body. The dis lodged organs were wrapped in small pieces of cloth, and he’ll put everything in a cooler.
“How are we supposed to tell I’Don’s parents about this, I’Beer…”
“I don’t know…Like how are we supposed to make them believe us”
They could say that he got mauled by a tiger or a bear, but the fact that they were unharmed is the main issue. Don’s parents and the police will definitely be suspicious of them.
“We don’t have any reason to kill him, right? And the way his body looks is…”
“I know, I’James…We’re in big trouble—?”
Suddenly, James’s face becomes pale. His body and mouth tremble so bad that he can’t say anything. And his finger seems to be pointing at…
*Grrrrrrr*
A terrifying growling sound accompanied by the iconic thumping by the claws and the sound of a full-blown breath…It must be it.
(Shit Shit Shit…I’m fucked…..)
Beer tries to remain calm. He really wants to scream with the top of his lungs. But doing so, would be the equivalent of him asking to be killed.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxxSpxBePk
He looked down with eyes shaking with fear. There is a kitchen knife on the ground, which should be enough to use as a weapon.
A cold sweat flowing through his face, and in a split second…
*GRRAAAWWWLLLL!!!*
“AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!”
“MOTHERFUCKER!!!”
Beer quickly grabs the knife. But the animal behind is much faster. He received a scratch so badly that his left arm was severed, and there’s a large gaping wound on his right shoulder.
It uses its massive tail to strike Beer, sending him flying into James, who was desperately clawing away for his life.
*Keh keh keh keh keh*
An animal as tall as an adult human, with a length of 6-7 meters, muscular body and brown fur covering its body. WIngs on both arms but can not fly. Long deadly claws on both toes, teeth as sharp as blades, its mouth and face are covered in blood. It’s even looking at them before laughing.
Utahraptor…No, the ‘Hellclaws’ are right in front of them.
*Kuk kuk kuk* it tapped the ground with the killing claws on its toes, a low growl rumbling from its throat. Blood smeared its grinning face as it licked its lips, as if it savored the sight of a delicious meal.
“SHIT SHIT SHIT, I’BEER!!!”
“I KNOW! HELP ME FIRST, WILL YOU!?”
‘Yeah, right’ James picks him up. His blood flowed out of his arm, uncontrollably. Cold sweat running down his face. If he doesn't stop the bleeding now, Beer would definitely die.
*BAAAAAUUUUUGHHHH!!!*
At the moment they’re off guard, the animal immediately charges in, aiming to kill both of them.
“!!”
James pushed Beer out of the way. Causing him to be the one taking the full brunt of the Hellclaw’s attack.
It bites and thrash his right arm violently. James quickly grabs the nearby rock and desperately tries to smash its eye socket, but by the time he manages to do so, his arm was nearly torn off.
*KRYYAAAGGHHH!!!*
“HEY!”
In the moment it’s about to strike again, Beer throws a knife and it stabs right in the middle of its body. The animal stunned for a moment, James immediately kicked its face and quickly crawled away.
“SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!”
“Don’t fucking panic! Unless you want to die quicker!”
*Crenck*
The animal, when it successfully removes the knife. It let out a roars *RROOAARR* before circling around them, as if it’s waiting for the right moment to strike.
*Grrrrrr*
They need to come up with something to fight this ‘Hellclaws’ and get back to the village. If they want to survive.
Either it or them—that will survive.
“Huff…Huff…”
However, in this kind of injury, they won’t stand a chance against it. They need to get in the car, and wait for it to lose interest.6Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpCokrE5jd
The other option is to run straight to the village—but that would be the stupidest move, because there is no way they could outrun that thing.
*Kku kuk kuk*
It tapped the ground again before charging towards them. Beer and James quickly split up, hoping to confuse the animal.
However, it makes a sharp turn and attacks Beer.
“!?”
Beer frantically picks up a nearby rock and throws it. But the animal quickly dodge to the side and counter with its claws. Beer narrowly dodged the blow, but got struck in the leg by its massive tail, knocking him to the ground.
The animal jumped onto him and dug its claw into his left thigh, penetrating all the way to his femur.
*AAAAAHHHHH!!!*
Beer screams in pain. The animal pressed its weight onto his leg. Before thrashing his other arm. Beer desperately attacks it with his other arm, but it’s futile because it shows no sign of stopping.
(AAHHH!! THIS FUCKER!!!)
*BAAAUUUURRRGHHHH!!!*
*BAM!*
Suddenly, a portable microwave was thrown at the animal. It’s stunned for a moment, and in that split second, James strikes it with a hammer to its head, knocking the animal down.
“DAMN YOU!!!”
Not only that, he repeatedly smashed its head, the blood splashing, and its teeth flew off.
“DIE DIE DIE, YOU FUCKING SON OF A BITC—!”
In a split moment, the animal clawed at James’s stomach and kicked him away.
*KRRRYYYYYAAAGGHHH!!*
The animal roars at the top of its lungs and stares at Beer and James before running away.
Everything goes silent…Only the sound of a wind and blood dripping can be heard.
“Huff…Huff…Huff…”
James drops his body to the ground, covering the wound with his hand. THe wound is quite deep, so he needs to be extra careful when moving.
He looked at Beer, who was trying to get up, but couldn’t. So, he quickly goes to help him.
“It’s gone…is it?”
“Maybe, I had no idea if it will come back or not, and I don’t want to wait for an answer, you idiot. Better get away from this place”
“Yeah…Let’s take I’Don’s body with us—as proof that we were really attacked”
“Ok…But e can’t take the whole body tho”
*Ack!* Beer cough.
“Damn it…then just take the picture”
‘Got it’ James responded before taking the picture of their friend’s body and the surroundings, including their injuries.
And then, they quickly packed the necessary things and got into the car. Fortunately, they still had bandages and painkillers inside. They gave each other first aid and started their journey to the village.
“Can you even drive, I’James?”
“I can. It’s a little dark, but we’ll definitely make it”
As for the car, there isn’t much choice left right now. As long as it can move, it’s still good. Even with the 2 flatten tires.
“Like bro…where the fuck did it come from. This is Thailand, not the USA…and it’s fucking massive”
“I’m with you. I wouldn’t be too confused, If it was a Siamosaurus or a Siamotyrannus. But that was a fucking Utahraptor”
“God damn it…Better hurry up”
“I know, but the road is fucking dogshit”
Since it’s a narrow and complicated gravel road of more than 20 kilometers, making it extremely difficult to seek help, especially with these flatten tires.
“To be honest with you, you don’t have to be in the middle of the village, ya’know?”
“Why is that?”
“I remembered that the village signal was quite widespread. Another 4-5 kilometers of driving should be enough”
“Right”
It’s a good thing that they don’t have to drive too far for a phone signal. As soon as they get into the signal range, Beer will immediately call the police and get out as soon as possible.
. . . . .
Since it’s a gravel road, the car is constantly shaking. Coupled with the darkness and their injuries, making the returning trip to be really difficult. To make the matter worse, 2 of the tires on the right side are flatten.
James pressed on the accelerator paddle a little harder. Hoping that this speed would get them to the village faster. Because judging from Beer’s injuries, he would be in big trouble, if he doesn’t make it to the hospital in time.
“?”
He noticed something blocking the road. James slow the car down and turned on the high beams to take a look.
“What the…”
“What is that…”
What they see is a large pile of rocks, pieces of wood and a huge log blocking the road.
Judging from its size and the timing, it’s unlikely to occur naturally.
“So, what do we do now?” Asked Beer.
“Are there other roads around here?”
“No, they aren’t. Even if there were others, the car wouldn’t be able to go”
‘Bloody hell…’ Beer flicks his tongue as he covers the wound with his left hand.
“Shit…you still good, I’Beer?”
“Yeah yeah” Beer answered with a dry voice.
“I’ll find another way. Don’t worry”
James needs to find a way to remove all these piles of rocks and woods ASAP. But it would take several hours to do so, not to mention this huge log.
At first, he thought of removing it all by himself. However, judging from the surroundings, if he goes outside, he would end up becoming food for the ‘Hellclaws’. He had no idea where they were, it might still be hiding around here, waiting to ambush him.
But if he just stays holed up in here and does nothing, their injuries will keep getting worse—especially Beer, whose face is now extremely pale.
(Shit…What should I do—)
*Thung!*
As they are busy thinking, a loud thud sound comes from the roof of the car, as if there is something jumping on it.
Beer and James look at each other, before James grabs the flashlight and hands Beer a knife.
*Gonk gonk gonk* it knocked on the roof as it sniffed. And the worst of all, the car roof started to collapse under its weight.
“Wait…”
But Beer noticed something was off.
”What?”
“Why do I feel like…”
*Crenk Crenk* The knocking sound grew louder and louder as James glanced at a shadow behind a log.
“Did you lock all the doors?”
James asked, Beer nodded. And just to be sure, James tasted both front doors and was relieved to find that they’re already locked.
Right now, the situation seems to be very unsettling, almost as if something unseen is watching. James changed his focus to the shadow earlier, but he accidently turned off the car’s headlights.
“.....”
He sighs, and turns the headlights on again.
“!?”
But before he could do so, he caught sight of what’s in the shadows in front of him.
It’s 3 pairs of bright crimson eyes behind the log, staring at the car.
“What the fuck–”
*THUD!*
Suddenly, something hit the car from the side, cracking the rear window.
*THUD!*
“AYO!?”
“FUCKING WHAT NOW!?”
*THUD!*
James immediately shines the light, but before he could see the trouble maker. The rear window shattered, and that animal had quickly crawled into the car through the gap.
“FUCKING SHIT! FUCKING SHIT! FUCKING SHIT!!!!!”
In a blind panic, Beer slashed and kicked with ferocity like never before in his life. As for James, he also assists him by smashing the animal with a flashlight, causing the animal to retreat.
The chaos earlier caused major damage to the rear right door, but luckily the door is still intact and locked, albeit a little loosely.
“It’s gone…right?” Beer asked.
“I will not…confirm shit…this time”
They sigh out in exhaustion.
James looked at the log again, but found no 3 pairs of eyes.
*Crenk crenk crenk* The knocking sound on the roof is still present. But after the accident just now, they’re no longer scared of them.
“Just ram through that shit, I don’t fucking care anymore”
“Got it”
James gripped the steering wheel tightly and slammed the accelerator to the floor, crashing into the log with full force. Even with a loud thud echoed above them—like something had fallen onto the roof—but they didn’t care anymore.
A pickup truck travelling at 100kph hit the log with full force. However, the impact was not strong enough to break through the log, only shattered it.
Maybe because the 2 flatten tires on the right were slowing them down.
“DAMN IT!”
James reverses the car, ready to ram it again. But before he could hit the accelerator, a sudden *pop!* sound like a tire got punctured—cut through the air, causing the car’s speed to drop significantly.
“FUCKING WHAT NOW!?”
“The tire got punctured?”
Beer leaned out to take a look.
“How is it, I’Beer?”
“I can’t see it clearly. But it seems like the rear left tire got slash or something”
“Like the right tires?”
“Maybe”
Due to how dark it is, Beer slowly peeks out of the window before turning on the flashlight on his phone to take a look.
“Yeah, like the right tires. But…” Beer halt.
“But what?”
James asks in curiosity. But as soon as he saw what Beer was seeing…all doubts immediately disappeared.
The light from Beer’s phone shines on something on the pickup truck. An animal with crimson eyes, brown fur covered its body, with giant claws on the toes, is staring at them.
*SKRRAAAAAAGGHHH!*
“THE FUCK—!?”
It leapt in and bit Beer in the face, before getting down from the car and trying to drag Beer along with it. James immediately rushed in to grab his friend.
“AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! SHIIIIITTTT!!!”
In a blind panic, Beer struggled desperately to break free, throwing everything he had at the animal.
“I’BEER CUT THAT SHIT OUT!! YOU’LL HIT MY FUCKING WOUNDS!!!”
James desperately held his friend with all he got, but due to his injuries, he couldn't hold him for very long.
“F— FUCK!! THERE’S MOR— THERE’S MORE OF THEM!!!”
“MORE!?”
*FWUH* Beer got pulled in a matter of seconds.
“I’BEER!!!”
James quickly goes to help, but the wound on his stomach takes effect, causing him to trip over his own feet and fall.
“FUCK!!”
As he’s about to climb back to his car, his eyes met with a pair of crimson eyes staring at him inside—and another pair to his right. The animals let out a low, menacing *Hiss!*, a clear warning that they’re ready to fight.
With his critically injured body like this, plus James doesn’t have any weapons beside the flashlight right now, he was forced to retreat.
“FUCKING HELL! SORRY, I REALLY CAN’T HELP YOU, I’BEER!!”
Meanwhile, Beer got dragged into a tall underbrush, blood streaking the ground in a thick, unbroken trail. Moments later, a bone-chilling scream tore through the night—a sound so raw, so full of agony, it didn’t sound human anymore.
“AAAAAARRRGGGGHHHH!!! AAAAAAHHHHH!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!”
Inside the underbrush, Beer is getting torn apart, piece by piece, by the claws of the hellish animals. He swung his knife wildly in the air, trying to fend them off, despite managing to hit it with a few slash—it’s still useless.
His right arm that holds the knife got bitten and torn off, followed by a severe slash to his abdomen.
“AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Beer could feel his body tearing apart—tendons snapping, bones splintering under the force of those claws. The pain was beyond anything imaginable by the human mind, a torment so absolute it eclipsed thought. His vision blurred from the blood vessels in his eyes that had ruptured, turning everything into a red haze. Then came the choking—he vomited blood in thick, bubbling waves, the tasted of iron in his throat as his insides began to fail him.
*CHOMP!* He got dragged out by one of them. In the final moment of his life, Beer saw the unthinkable—his body torn in half. His lower half of his body is being feasted on. From his small and large intestine, blood, and every pulsing organ—spilled out from the body. He could only watch in fading horror as everything that once held him together poured out in a flood of gore.
It's just…horrifying.
Right before his eyelids fully shut, he saw one of an animal with crimson eyes, brown fur covering its body, it lunged in, biting down on his throat, right at Adam's apple—
*SHNK!!!*
—and tore it out in one savage jerk. Blood erupted like a fountain, spraying the air in a hot, arterial burst. His body convulsed, twitched… then collapsed, broken and hollow. And just like that, Beer’s life ended—ripped away in a flood of agony and gore.
. . . . .
(SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!!!)
In the depth of the forest, under the moonlight. James is desperately running for his life. But due to the injuries on his arms and legs, his running speed is incredibly slower than usual.
*SCRUFF SCRUFF SCRUFF* many footsteps are chasing him. James doesn’t know how many are following him, but he isn’t in the mood to be curious right now.
At first, James planned to run away for a while to put some distance between himself and the creatures before slowly circling back the way he came, but those ‘Hellclaws’ were much faster than he expected—especially the smaller one, it cut him off at every turn, no matter where he went. Wherever he tried to go, it was already there, waiting for him.
(But wait…it didn’t killed me immediately when they saw me)
He thought while he’s running.
Normally, the predators would kill their prey as soon as it had the chance. But those ‘Hellclaws’...the most they did were roaring or scaring him.
As if they were toying with him…
(!?)
Then, James realized something.
Any unlucky human who unknowingly steps into their territory will be lured to the deepest part of the forest by the ‘Hellclaws’, where they will play with their prey until they are satisfied, before being eaten…alive.
Keyword is ‘will be lured to the deepest part of the forest’
Those words from the vendor flashed through his mind, James quickly stopped looking for a place to rest before looking around.
“Ah shit…”
James has no idea where he is now. There are only trees and darkness around here. It looks the same, no matter which way he looks.
He has officially fallen into their trap.
“Fucking hell…I need a hiding place”
No matter how hard he tries to curse his fate, it wouldn’t do anything good to him. James carried himself and walked on, hoping to find a cave or an abandoned cabin that he could use as a place to rest. Fortunately, the ‘Hellclaws’ aren’t following him right now, or else he would end up in their stomach.
Ahead of James, is a downhill road that is not too steep. But the obstacles along the way are terrible, with rocks, bushes, and even large logs.
“WHA–!?”
James accidently tripped over a rock and fell through the bushes on the ground, breaking his left leg and rendering it useless. But luckily, his flashlight still worked.
“Goddammit…”
Even though he’s badly injured, this is not the time to complain. James used his remaining strength to get up and keep walking.
He is trying to find his way back to the way he came. It had been a while since James heard a sound from those ‘Hellclaws’. Deep down, he really wishes it lost interest in him, but James knew it wouldn’t be that easy.
*GRRAAAUUUGGHHH!*
A howling sound came from afar. James, who didn’t want to take any risk, decided to take a detour, praying that he would never encounter those animals again.
“?”
After walking for some time, James found an abandoned cabin. It looks dilapidated, but at least it should be enough for resting.
“Thank god…”
James carried himself to that cabin. He really hoped there were still some old wooden scraps inside—something he could use to barricade the door, just in case those ‘Hellclaws’ decide to visit this place.
He opened the rotten door and turned on the flashlight to peer inside—
“!?”
What James saw terrified him. Inside there are pieces of bones and clothes piled up on the floor. The stench of the corpses is so strong James almost threw up.
After calming down, James slowly walked into the cabin. He walked past the pieces of bone and piles of clothes, and there were even pieces of flesh, which made James feel even more disgusted.
“?”
James stumbled upon a cylindrical object under a pile of clothes. WHen he picked it up, James immediately knew that he had found something good.
It’s a B-A400 shotgun with 1 bullet inside the chamber. He doubted it’d be enough, but at least he had something to protect himself.
“Argh…”
After barricading the door. James sat down in the corner of the room, trying to close his wounds on his stomach and arm. Although James got some experience using firearms from his territorial defense training, with his arm in this condition, even getting into a point-shooting stance was a struggle.
Next to James, There’s a small hole on the wall, which can be used to look outside. At first, he tried looking with his naked eyes, but due to how dark it was, he couldn’t see anything. So he turned on the light and looked again.
(Ok ok, they're not around here)
*Phew~* James sighs. If he stays like this till the morning, he should be able to survive.
*Kwa! Kwa!*
He heard a cry from afar. James chose to ignore it and continue resting.
*BANG!*
“!?”
There was a banging sound from the door. In panic, James immediately pointed his gun at that spot.
(Come at me and I’ll fucking shoot…)
*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!!* The banging sound continued along with the cry of the ‘Hellclaws’, which judging from the tone, it sounded like it’s…laughing.
Those animals are laughing at him. The sound is akin to that of hyenas. Combined with the sound from its claws, it made his heart beat wildly.
After some time, when the door is about to break. Everything goes to near silence. Only the sound of the wind and the birds can be heard.
(That ain’t gonna work on me, jackass)
However, James is still not convinced. He kept his guy pointed at the door, just to make sure it’s safe.
Several minutes have passed, nothing happened. Everything is peaceful. James slowly lowered his gun, he let out a long sigh before grabbing the flashlight.
(Fucking, dammit…I really hate when it’s silence)
He looks through the tiny hole on the wall, to see if there’s anything around his area…
*Grrrrrrrrr* A pair of crimson eyes staring through the same hole and snarling at him.
“WHA—!?!?!?!?!?!?”
James is in a state of absolute terror. But before he could do anything, the ‘Hellclaws’ busted *BAM!!!* through the wall, using its muscular body to tackle James, sending flying out of the cabin.
(Was that the weak point of the cabin!?)
The animal with a muscular body, brown fur, and red eyes with sharp claws on each toes, is now staring at him with a ravenous, predatory gaze.
“God fucking…*SHUNK!!!*”
Before James could get up, his right arm—the one he’s using to lift himself up, got pierced by a razor-sharp claws. As he looked up, he was met with another pair of glowing crimson eyes…and strands of drool dripping down towards him.
*Grrrrrrrrr*
“.....”
There’s another…’Hellclaws’
*TTHROOOOAAARRR!!!*
*Chomp!* it bites one on James’s shoulder before thrashed its head violently, tearing everything in a spray of blood that painted the ground. James screamed in agony—as he fought back with everything he had, slamming a flashlight and a gun into the creature's face in a desperate frenzy.
But before he could do anything…
*Chomp!*
*Chomp!*
*Chomp!*
Another set of teeth clamped down on his left foot…then his left side…and his right wrist…All at once.
“FUCKING SHIT!!!!!”
James desperately struggles with every ounce of his strength. He screams rising in pain…and agony, like a surge of fire through every nerve in his body. The pain traveled throughout his whole body in a matter of seconds. Blood spurted in thick, pulsing streams, soaking the ground beneath him. In one final, desperate to survive, he twisted and kicked with everything he had. And somehow—
Miraculously—
They let him go.
“Wha…”
But the first thing he sees after recovered…gives him a goosebump.
*Kwa! Kwa!*
A shrill voice rang out as blood dripped from their mouths, and now…five pairs of crimson eyes were staring at him.
(Fuck…Fuck…Holy fuck…)
In front of is not 1 ‘Hellclaws’…not 2…but 5 of ‘Hellclaws’
(THEY HAD BABIES!?)
3 out of the 5, are juvenile versions of the ‘Hellclaws’, in which they are only half the size of the 2 adult ones. However, their viciousness is no different from that of the adult ones.
And the most shocking of all…is the one that almost kills him, is the same one that he almost beat up to death at the camp.
“*Huff*...*Huff*...”
James’s injuries are now in critical condition. He slowly crawled to the nearby tree. Seeing the golden opportunity, one of the ‘Hellclaws’s juveniles let out a roar before charging at him, with its 2 siblings following close behind.
They ripped out their claws from both of its arms before leapt into the air, aiming to tear James apart in a single, fatal strike.
*Chuck*
“!?”
James notices a B-A400 shotgun nearby. He quickly grabbed it, aiming at them before…
“Gotcha!”
*BANG!!!!*
Pulled the trigger.
The recoil from the gun itself caused James’s arm to spin nearly 180 degrees, dislocating his right shoulder, and the shotgun fell into a nearby ditch.
Silence broke out, and the both ‘Hellclaws’ scattered. The other juveniles immediately hide their parents.
“Huff…Huff…Huff…”
*Grrrrrr*
Lying between the 2 sides, is the lifeless body of one of the ‘Hellclaws’ creatures' own offspring, lying flat on the ground. Its blood sprouted out like a fountain from where its head and the upper neck had been completely blown away.
*KRUUUMMMMBBBBLAAARRRGH!!!!!!!!!!!*
*Kwa! Kwa! KWAAAAAA!!!!!*
All 4 of them let out a long, guttural howl in grief—so intense that it shook the forest…and anger so consuming it burned in their eyes. Once again, their family members had been slaughtered…by mere humans.
“Argh…”
James tried searching for a rock, or something that can use to protect himself. Because he knew that he himself had made a big mistake.
*CHOMP!*
Suddenly, James feels immense pain coming from his feet. Right now, the siblings of the juvenile ‘Hellclaws’ that he just killed, are now sinking their razor-sharp teeth into him and thrashing around violently.
“AAAAHHHHH!!!! DAMMIT!!! DAAAAAAAAAMMIIIIIIIIIIIITT!!!!”
James doing absolutely everything to shake them off. But then, he felt another immense pain from his right shoulder. Another one of those ‘Hellclaws’ had sunk its teeth into his shoulder and thrashing around wildly. And a few seconds later…James’s entire right arm was completely ripped off from his body.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
James screams…and writhe in agony. His voice echoed through the forest, like a pig getting killed in a slaughterhouse. Blood sprayed in a violent burst, forming a pool of thick and glistening blood right beside him. Then—
*SHUNK!!!*
Both of his feet were torn off from his body at once.
“AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!——”
A faith *pop* echoed deep inside of his throat. His vocal cords had ruptured and were bleeding from the relentless, brutal screaming. His voice died almost instantly, cut off mid-scream, leaving only a choke. Pain surged through his neck, like a fire burning through hell, As if his own body were pushing him to survive this long.
At this moment, James can no longer make any sound.
His body got thrown back. As he opened his eyes, James saw a giant theropod-like figure in front of him, along with a growl and small amount of saliva dripping from its mouth.
*Grrrrrrrrrrr*
The glowing pairs of crimson eyes, clearly indicating the anger and hatred towards humans. And this particular ‘Hellclaws’ that are staring at him, is the one that almost beat it to death.
*RRRRRRAAAAGHHHHHH!!!*
It roars with the top of its lungs, before ripped out its claws and—
*SKRRRCH!!!*
(!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!)
And suddenly…James feels a searing sharp pain, like a firefly knife in his body. James wants to scream…he desperately wants to scream to let out all his pain. But he couldn’t scream…he couldn’t scream at all.
Seconds later, James realized the source of this unbearable pain. He could feel an emptiness through his abdomen…the warm flood of blood slowly pouring out—soaking everything beneath him.
*Nhum Nhub*
The ‘Hellclaws’ leaned down and yanked his small intestine out from his abdomen, chewing on it—like blood flavor snacks. Followed by the other organs. His liver, kidneys, stomach…and his lungs, got ripped out one after another while faintly twitching. Its offspring crept in close, snarling and snapping, each eager to claim a piece of the feast.
It dumped his intestine, feeding to its offspring, before using its left claw to pierce one of his eyes. James’s vision became blurry. Tears streamed down his face from the pain he’s experiencing.
Satisfied, it removed its claw, causing his blood to flow out from his eye socket, like a broken dam.
And there’s a new pain from both sides of his head, as if he is being stabbed by an uncountable amount of small needles.
Then—another ‘SKRRRCH!!’
(Huh…?)
James felt himself…floating? or drifting to another world. Even with his blurry vision, James could feel his perspective changing.
(Ah…am I going to heaven…?)
He thought so, as he thanked God for ending his suffering…
*GRAWR! GRAWR!*
But the truth is…the rising sensation wasn’t salvation—it was separation.
THe ‘Hellclaws’ had sliced his neck with one clean swipe, severing his head from his body. It now held James’s decapitated head high—like a hunting tropy—before tossing it away like discarded meat.
*RRRAAAWWWRRRRRRRRR!*
A thunderous roar shattered the silence, echoing across the forest to announce its victory to the night.
Then, without hesitation it turned back to feast on human flesh with its family…
