A Snake Lies in the Grass

It was a little surprising to look outside and see a three year old walking around; live snake in tow. She lives in the apartment below us, and she was just outside by herself. Later I heard her dad tell her to come inside.

“When my father calls me…quickly I obey…with a snake coiled around my arm…”
