глазом моргнуть не успел | in an instant (также "глазом моргнуть не успеешь": The oversized eyes shone green, and the legs were bent backwards at a “severe angle to the body.” Tim was apparently paralyzed with fear in the presence of this unearthly monstrosity, but in an instant the thing was gone and the dread dissipated.
