“The gas continued to clear and he could see the monster that she couldn't: it towered over her, its eyes glowed red over sharp-looking mandibles. It stood on four legs and had a long abdomen, like some kind of mantis shaped creature. The thing swung one of its heavy claws at Laurie, knocking her aside like a rag doll. "NO!"

Jackson heaved and struggled; his... heart thudded against his ribs, muscles tensed in his shoulders and forearms and veins popped out on his hands, his neck. He felt the strap across his chest begin to give way on the right side and he kept working back and forth. The alarms were still going off when the creature's claw smashed hard against the glass chamber, an awful crunching sound that cut through the din. Cracks like spider-webs appeared but the glass held. Mandibles clacked, the gas was gone, yellow and red lights were spinning around the chamber and a strap broke.MoreLessRead More Read Less
