roadkill (via Anna Hurtig)

I had a dream that I got bit by a snake. I was in the desert with some people digging a hole when I saw something red behind a rock.  Everyone immediately screamed, “SNAKE!” and ran in all sorts of directions.  I stood there staring the thing down, acting as a decoy so it wouldn’t hurt anyone else.

He started rattling and I made a run for it, but he was right behind me, keeping sideways so I couldn’t make any sharp turns.  He leaped up and bit my arm.  His teeth sunk into my forearm and it felt so fucking real.

I shook him off and kept running until he dove onto my leg and bit me just above my ankle.  I could feel the poison interacting with my blood.  

I passed out and woke up in a hospital.
