Fear
May 12th, 2007I woke up drenched with cold perspiration, instinctively not daring to move. I felt something cold against my bare feet. Its feel was ticklish, and in another time and place I would have wiggled my toes and laughed but again, something kept me still.
Whatever it was moved slowly up my thigh. I looked down and there it was — a big, black reptile slithering up my body, its forked pink tongue flicking in and out of its mouth. Goosebumps broke out on my skin and the sweating increased.
Our eyes met — man and animal — and I saw something cold and evil in the beast’s eyes. The light went out and I was alone with the snake.
I screamed.
I’ll soon focus on writing only on my writing site. The code now accepts comments and is a lot more robust although we still have a lot of features lacking. Why not read what I have so far on The Farce?

And then you woke and lo and behold, it was a horrible nightmare.

Nice though, would love to know what happened after the scream.
May 15th, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Thanks for stopping by my blog…
Whose farm did u cross unasked to be sharing yourbed with night crawlers, ehn?
May 16th, 2007 at 1:02 am
slither00s– you’ve gotta love em. BTW-welcome back
May 16th, 2007 at 4:28 am
Good piece Azuka! But i don’t know which one would scare me more-a reptile crawling up my legs or a cockroach doing same.How I fear roaches!
May 16th, 2007 at 4:41 am
Or maybe the reptile will meet the roach on their journey up my leg and in anger, the reptile will devour the roach, then satisfied with the roach’s taste,the reptile would slither back down and go jump on my room mate.He he he!

Eeek. Posted the comment on the wrong post. Now I head downstairs to take my meds.

Confused naija girl
No it isn’t.
Exschoolnerd
Thanks.
Racquelle-cutie
Well, to tell the truth, I’ve had even more terrifying dreams involving snakes in the past.
Princess
Jungle thrillers? I can’t remember watching any. After the scream, whatever goes on is left to the mind of the reader.
Catwalq
The last time I crossed a farm was three years ago.
Ejura
Then we shall trade — my snake for your cockroach. At least I know how to deal with a roach!

Well that was interesting. I’ll proceed to ask, I love writing stories, but is it ok to post them on a blog page?(Arent they meant 4 personal, day-2-day stuff??)

Temmy Tayo

Simply Cider
Well, blogs have no specified format.

Good fiction. Now that you imagined it, I won’t be surprised if you dream it later.
June 18th, 2007 at 10:56 am
