63 The Cavalry!

Alyssa could hear the sharp sound produced by the nail when it hit the ground. The sound of that metal clanking on the ground was heavy on her ears. It was her last hope and just like the broken nail, her hopes broke too. Her breath hitched. She could see everything clearly. She felt like everything was happening in slow motion.

The monster was in front of her with his mouth open. She could see its every pointy teeth. There were teeth present in his jaws too. they were short and pointy, just like the rest of the teeth. She could see the monster's jaw dislocating from its place so that he can swallow her in one single fluid motion just like snakes.

It is better to be eaten as a whole than to be shredded into pieces. She bet the monster was so hungry that it didn't bother to cut her into pieces, limb by limb, and chew her.
