A Secret Fear, A Hidden Tear

[iyaaahh]

I was caught in a flood inside a car with my boyfriend. There was a cobra loose somewhere in the water. It was a choice of either drowning or being bitten. In the end, we chose to swim for it. J can’t swim well so I was worried about him. I let him go first and kept watch for the snake. When he got to the other side (which was a marshy bank of some sort) he had the snake by the neck in his hands. I yelled at him to hold it by the tail and stay as far away from it as possible. I dove into the water and swam to where he was. When I got there, he’d been bitten. He died in my arms.

Then I woke up.
