The ravenous intruders swarmed up his chest, up his back and on to his shoulders, all of them the size of rats but not rats, all of them clawing and biting. They were all over him, pulling him down. He went to his knees. He let go of the beast he was holding, and he pounded at the others with his fists. One of them bit off part of his ear. Wikedly pointed little teeth sank into his chin. Then the darkness grew deeper and an eternal silence settled over him.
