Something solid slamming into the side. The airbag exploded into my face. A blunt, violent blow. Sharp pain across my nose, my forehead, my cheeks. The car kept dragging, skidding. Another hit, harder, on my side. My body slammed against the seatbelt. Glass shattered. A hollow, crushing sound like something bending past its limit. My head snapped back and forth. There was pain. So much pain. And then, suddenly, silence. Not complete silence. There was still a high, distant ringing in my ears, like the world had been muffled underwater. But no more screaming metal. No more tires scraping. No more horns.

Beginning from a series of distorted ideas, a precise recognition of the condition I'm in becomes clear. I'm mentally wrestled to reset my coordination. I was finally able to flick open my eyelids only to find myself in unfamiliar surroundings. I shut them again. But the scene won't change. It is real, I was taken.

And there’s a matching one from a claw, starting at my bicep moving across my chest. The warmth of blood running down my neck and my chest faintly register, as do the sounds of growls and fists hitting flesh.
