Snapping the Spine

My talons found a heavy black binder lying flat across the dark study desk. Grrr... trapped inside was a spine of solid iron! I shoved the stiff cardboard cover open, exposing six curved steel fangs locked tight over paper. Daring to hold together in my presence? I planted my claws onto the release tabs at each end and threw down all my weight. KR-CLACK! The vicious spring exploded, snapping the curved metal jaws wide open in a deafening metallic shock! The loose sheets shuddered and fluttered free. Hahaha! Fractured by my own hands! I slammed the jaws shut again with a violent CRACK, letting iron bite into the quiet dark.
