First lines

"THEY'RE after me!" screamed the gaunt, loose-jointed man. "Take them away!" His voice cracked out with a nasal twang.

The man's arms were long. His big hands flapped. He was beating at the empty air about him. One set of fingers clutched suddenly at his colorless hair. The hand came away with strands the man had torn loose.
