Analysis of The serpent
As I lay in the dark, eyes close, trying to get some sleep. I start to feel something crawling and slide up my legs slowly. I hurry up and open my eyes to see a serpent there wrapping itself around my body. As I try to breathe, the serpent squeezes harder and harder as it gets closer to my head. Now closer to my head, I see its mouth opening, knowing I can't do anything about it. I lay there and accept my fate as the serpent swallows me alive.
