Sssssserpent

Thursday, September 23, 2010

I took this picture this summer. My cousin Will is enthralled by snakes of

any kind. He caught this one in his backyard and I grabbed a shot of it. On a

side note - quite frankly, I'm not completely sure how I manage to produce

this much thinking after the week I've had...

Quote Of The Day:

"Because we focused on the snake, we missed the scorpion."

50 Word Story:

Strike

The shift of sand and a menacing hiss. A black snake slithering towards

its target, its large hood spread wide. It opens its mouth, showing pointy

teeth and a forked tongue. Coiling slowly around its victim, its scales flowing

smoothly. Head reared back, mouth open, poised to strike lightning quick.
