Snakes and spiders are two of the most common fears in humans. Don't you ever imagine, both snakes and spiders, joining together to attack you? I had imagined the horror of it not long ago. I thought about the spiders making webs in my hair and laying eggs in my ears. The snakes were slithering into my shoes and up my legs, enveloping my body in scales. They both crawled under my shirt causing extreme discomfort. Funny thing is, not once did I see my hands. I tried to find the skin in front of me, but all that was found was slimy scales, and hairy little legs. It seemed as though they were eating my flesh and bones, so slowly, it was almost unnoticeable Have you ever woken up to your arm being completely numb, not even the soft warm sheets under it? That's what it feels like. So maybe next time you feel, or rather don't feel that, look down and check if your arm is still there. But all of this imagining, is just that, right? Imagination?
