Nowhere To Go
Mark couldn’t believe the snake didn’t make any attempt to strike at him. Instead, the snake wrapped its scaly body around his ankle and peered up at him with its bloodshot eyes. Mark was taken aback, but he did not retreat from the situation. Instead of fleeing, he remained where he was and watched the snake as it moved its tongue in and out of its mouth. The snake reared its head abruptly and let out a low hiss as it did so.
Telling Something
Mark was startled, but he quickly understood that the snake was attempting to have a conversation with him. Mark was completely oblivious to the snake’s attempts to communicate with him. Mark was still wary, and despite his knowledge that the snake was highly poisonous, he refrained from coming into contact with it.
