The eyes of the snake were like fire. Burning Embers, of Death. Black pupils like the blackest of night. Waiting, to capture and kill staring right at me. I was petrified from fear, and loss.  My mind was blown with the enhancing, but evil eyes.  They put me in my place, saying ' back away, run away or die.'  I was still stuck with fear and I don't know what to do.  

My courageous and brave part of me, kicked into gear, waiting for the snake to make the first move.

Waiting

Waiting

Waiting.......

STRIKE!!!!

I jumped out of the way just in the nic of time. I struggled trying to stand in my place.  The snake kept staring , expecting me to do....something.  Who knows?
