Swoosh!" It suddenly moved two of its thin arms forward in a movement faster than Ken could follow.
"Ahh!" Ken wailed as one of the monster's palms wrapped around his torso, pinning his arms to his side, while the other coiled around his thigh, lifting him effortlessly from the ground.
That instant proved that the creature's arms weren't muscular, but were still impossibly strong, for he was completely immobilized, dangling in the air like a doll.
The creature then drew him closer, its enormous, galago-like face filling his entire world.
The scent of sulfur and damp fur filled his nostrils. The chittering growls of the beast growing louder, more intent.
It wanted to eat him, and all Ken could do was stare into those abyssal eyes, afraid, paralyzed.
At that moment, the beast opened its maw, exposing its surprisingly large, human-like teeth, and fearing his end, Ken closed his eyes.
