I tensed, my breath coming quick and shallow as the worker placed the cool slithering creature around my neck.
Snakes. Why did it have to be a SNAKE for this challenge?!
"You got it Abby" My father whispered encouragingly. "It's just a minute. One itty bitty minute."
I swallowed hard, hands clenching. It was going to choke me, it was going to strangle me, it was going to---
"And Time!"
I blinked, opening the eyes I hadn't realized I'd closed.
I didn't relax until the worker pulled the creature away from me, I shivered rubbing my neck. "Great, can we get outta here now?" Before they made me do it again.
