Ankle Snatcher

This is story 2 of Amazon's short story collection Creature Feature. I love that these releases include the kindle and the audible version for each. 
I thought this was a very interesting way to open up a story and give out someone's traumatic past. Because it's a short story, that launches the story into action immediately, making the horrific pace breakneck. I really thought this was a great take on the boogeyman, and as creepy as it was, I would have read a full novel of this. The ending was losing me a bit with its almost boogeyman-hunters take, but the description of the creature itself was too good. 
This one again mentions COVID without going into it, so I'm guessing they wrote these during the pandemic? 
Personally a 5/5*, I'd love to nail some creepy descriptors this well.
