Coiled and trapped

Coiled and trapped

The rattlesnake was coiled in a large Ziploc bag, the kind that you can pump the air out of. Someone had stuffed a gray sock into its mouth. It was barely alive. I didn’t want to kill the snake.

But when I walk past it, I shrink away from it in fear. I put my shoulder and hand up, … read more Fear of the mantel
