The Galactic Adventures of Pierce Darkblade

You lament the loss of Kathleen, but your fear gets the best of you as you swim to shore kicking with all your might. People on the shore begin to scream in horror. You turn back to witness the spectacle of the lovley Dr. Liv., ripped in half, being tossed into the air like a bloodied football. The top half of her torso lands 10 feet away from you, creating a bright crimson splash.

The red clawed creature, seemingly eats the bottom portion of the torso. You scream in terror and begin to swim even faster towards the shore. Panting heavily, you can make out the sounds of people shouting "It's after you! Keep going!"

You close your eyes and just paddle, kick like a mad man, inhaling gulps of water at one point, it doesn't slow you, you know this is life or death. You open your eyes to see you are about 20 ft away from shore. You take one more stroke, then you feel an incredible grip around your leg. It pierces your skin, and goes deep into your flesh. Its the sea creatures jagged claw.

You scream as it drags you away from shore. Farther and farther, you try to pull it off your leg to no avail. The creature then pulls you under into the clear blue depths. Strugging, the creature keeps you under control by grabbing your left arm with another claw. Now immobile, you gaze at the hideous lobster beast for the first and last time. It has one eye and two conjoined mouths, beak like with jagged edges, insect like feelers around the mouth help to push the food in.

You shout in agonizing pain as the monster mercilessly tugs on your leg and arm in opposite directions. Two distinct pops can be heard as it rips an arm and leg off your body. You flail helplessly to the sea floor, as your lungs fill with water.
