I feel your pain! I have an absurd fear of worms (to me, they are worse than snakes…I mean, they are slimy and why did the good Lord make a creature without a face??? I digress.) I totally understand the not being able to move or scream or anything. It is the worst. I hope you never have to deal with another snake again!
Your writing style is wonderful. I can picture the scene so vividly, and by the way, I’m with in you the way that I”d be screaming, too. LOL.
Lucky me my daughter is just getting to the stage where she wants to try to catch all the little critters around here. Wont be long before she spies a snake, I just hope it’s too fast for her…
I am with you on hating snakes dead or alive. I do not even like snake skin anything. I had a very very bad experience about 10 years ago. Dummy me thought I was being useful by picking up a fake snake that was in someone’s basement…..guess what…was not fake. You should’ve been there I have never been so disgusted and scared in my life. Too bad my toad of a husband was too busy laughing his butt off to help me get over it. Still get chills just thinking about it.
I think the worst part was I lost my favorite flip-flops. I loved those shoes. You know how you have a pair of shoes that are super comfy, hold up rain or shine and also were purchased on clearance? I mean, those were a great pair of shoes. Which I clearly could no longer wear or even have in my closet because of the snake germs on them.

I am laughing and getting the huzz at the same time here. I HATE snakes too.
I’m going to take a scalding shower now.

Sigh. And Harry may still be a toad.
Thanks for reading!
