I've been seeing a lot of snake thread on nairaland.

I never thought I'd be making one sooner or even later but today I had to kill a snake and I did.

But the feeling was not one I would want to ever experience again not if it's within my power to control.

I had just finished helping my uncle to bring our faulty generator from the backyard to the car park. He wants to take it to the repairer.

So after setting the generator down, I went close to the door waiting for him so we could lift it up and put it in the boot.

It was then that I caught sight of a thing and long green thread-like snake wrapped around the shiny metallic rails surrounding the front of our yards.

It's slight movement made me curious and the natural green and slight shimmer of the around its neck made me realise it was a snake. I was both fascinated and scared.

It was very pretty. Very pretty with several shimmery dull gold bands around its neck and a bright and dull green color all over the body.

It's eyes were something else.

But that's just the body. The moment our eyes met, I felt something I could not explain and even as I'm writing this, I still could feel it.

I saw it first while it was on the rail. And just a few seconds, it's turns its head slightly and saw me looking at it. It looked me in the eyes just as I looked in its tiny coal dark eyes.

In those few seconds, I felt something, like a spark, like a hand suddenly wiping every thought from my mind (I just can't explain).

Against my thoughtlessnessly, I moved on an impulse. Dropped the short handle of the generator and picked a longer stick. It froze for just a few minutes, and then climbed lazily down from the rail like someone who has suddenly resigned to fate, to fight a battle its not ready for or doesn't want to.

It moved not to attack me as I moved to attack it. It turned around to look for a safe haven while I moved still thoughtless to kill it.

I struck first and missed. This time it turned its body and bend its head with its tongue lashing out ready to attack..

But I was too far away from it. It saw this too and turned around to move away again like that man that's innocent but everyone wants to have a piece of his skin. I struck again and it writhes its body in pains.

I struck again and again and again till its head was battered and that beautiful shimmering gold on its royal green body dissappears.

I should feel happy that the enemy is dead but I felt pity, disgusted by my own strength and why I could not have looked away just as it was noble enough to look away.

Pictures?

No pictures and all these words?

The way you described this snake, ehn. I have a feeling it's the serpent from the garden of Eden .

I felt like I was in a literature class again.
I observed,before I finished reading I've already switched on my rechargeable lamp and taken off my shirt,the thought of snakes makes me uncomfortable.

Op na snake you dey romanticize abi na your village people come visit you and you brutally murdered them

Exactly the type of snake I saw close to my uncles room this afternoon....


They are identical both in size colour and length.... We tried to kill it but it disappeared... Inside a room.




Op are u sure there isn't a doorway from my place to ur place.... Maybe the snake is a teleporter..

You're an ingenious writer. I read this shit like thrice, so i could appreciate the quality of this piece.

You should consider writing as a career.

And Lalasticala your food is here. if not for anything, but fot the crispiness of this post, it should hit FP.
