Snakes’ Perspectives

A small, gray rodent Jes, scurried into the abandoned building. It stole the triangular yellow cheese with holes and entered the hole in the wall. The big, cool cat Tommy rushed to catch Jes, but Tommy slapped to the wall flatly like in a cartoon movie. Tommy could not catch it, so Jes was alone.

Jes saw Tommy go away and came out to put a tongue out. Without notice, the wet, slimy, legless reptile Crowley was above the hole where Jes’s house once was. Crowley snapped Jes’s tail for a second.

Jes wanted to escape with all four legs. Crowley ate it with one gulp. In the middle of the snake’s body, the bump was big. The rodent died from the toxins and enzymes. Then, Crowley burped and moved away with their muscles and vibrations through the old floor.

It went outside looking for more food as the gray rodents in the abandoned buildings. It can grow in size if eaten so much. Eventually, Tommy would be afraid to get more rodents for supper. Crowley swam in the water and ate fish or eggs in the nest.

Tommy wanted to be alive, so it meowed to the eagle E for help. E sat next to Tommy. Both hatched a plan to trick Crowley into a plastic bird in the old house.

Crowley was getting hungry and searched for more food. All the snake found was the bird in the house. Crowley waved away its tail to catch the plastic. Then, E’s peak cut its head off. Tommy was shocked behind the scene.

Finally, the giant snake was dead. E shared its meal with Tommy, who meows, “No thanks, I can only eat mice and cat food.”

E ate some, and Tommy searched for food in the streets. Tommy cannot find any food but another snake. Probably it was Crowley’s dad Maroon, whose black skin and red spots. Tommy escaped before it sensed fear.

Maroon sensed his son nearby. It waved along the paths to the eagle’s trap. The snake saw the eagle fall asleep next to his son, and it went for a snack.

Tommy came to see if the eagle already finished its meal but saw Maroon’s tail rattled. Tommy escaped and never asked for help from the eagles. It was so afraid if snakes can eat eagles, then what do eagles do?

Maroon turned his head. “I sensed fear from the cat, but the cat ran away. The cat will be doomed!”

Tommy was drinking water by the pond. It heard nothing, but Maroon was at Tommy’s tail, sticking his tongue out. So that was the end for Tommy. Also, it was a new beginning for Maroon.
