Sunrise Surprise! - a photo on Flickriver

Sunrise Surprise!

            As I stumbled out of the sack this morning, wiping the sleep from my bloodshot eyes, I thought I saw something strange. There, slithering across the carpet was what appeared to be my black braided leather belt…

“I must be seeing things…I gotta stop drinkin’ all that tequila every night,” I muttered to myself, as I reached out unconsciously to snatch the belt. Much to my surprise, the darn thing rapidly coiled itself, popped up its buckle, and reared its other end high in the air, swaying menacingly as my hand moved closer. 

“That’s it,” I decided. “I’m going back to bed!” When I awoke a few hours later, I found my black belt hanging in its usual place in the closet. Was it a dream, or did I actually have an encounter with the deadly Chinese black braided belt snake? 
I guess I’ll never know for sure…
