The moment I woke up, I was still on the wooden floor. My cheek felt cold against the wood. My back ached. For a second I didn't even remember where I was.
Then it all rushed back. The shop. The snake.
I pushed myself up slowly and looked around, my heart already racing.
I searched around looking for that giant snake only to find her curled up in a corner sleeping.
Her body was coiled into a heavy pile, scales barely moving as she breathed.
I froze. Good. She was sleeping.
"Fuck I am out of here."
I muttered, finding the strength in me to stand up. My legs felt weak like I had just run a marathon. I pressed one hand against the wall for balance.
I felt a tiny pain in my wrist, like a bug bite or something.
Mosquitos.
I rubbed the spot absentmindedly and walked out of the room slowly, careful not to make any sudden noise.
The moment I stepped out I took a deep breath.
Uncle PP was where I saw him last.Behind the counter. Exactly the same place.
