You shouldn’t move when you see a snake
Or was that for a bear
Or an alligator
Shit!
I should probably grab that huge log
Nah….It would probably bite me before I reach
Death by a bite
How ironic
My hands can’t seem to stop shaking
My heart seems to have accelerated
How am I supposed to keep calm when my body refuses to listen to the message
I am in danger
Be still my beating heart
So…I guess this is what its like to stare at death
A snake no less
No…A huge snake
Circling my body
I can swear its sniffing me
Don’t move
Don’t move
Don’t move
I cannot die like this
I refuse to
A snake?
Really? Quite pathetic
No…I have to reach that log
Why is it so dark
Why did I come this far
I should have stayed with the group
I have to move
That log is my only chance
I have to reach
He must sensed my fear
He must have known
For his eyes suddenly changed
And he let loose his fangs
Fuck!
