The alluring serpent caresses my body, sending tingling, thrilling emotions through me as it slithers to and fro; cris-crossing my outer limbs and torso. His life intertwining with mine, as we slowly become one!
We had spent many wonderous, sometimes fervent hours, "living the good life." At first we engaged in petty mischief, such as shooting holes in street signs. However, the trivial evils soon became boring as the vile serpent coaxed me into more interesting pleasures. The more of life's pleasures I consumed the less I thought. The less I thought, the more consumed I became! The wicked thoughts and "me-isms" of the world enveloped my ever regressing mind. I no longer concerned myself with others. I only wanted for myself. Giving into life's temptations. Drugs, drinking and sex were only a few of the notches carved into my crutch, with the serpent at its staff! The hissing grew more pronounced as I became increasingly aware of the wicked tongue as it flicked; tasting my skin! Each day the serpent's muscles constricted more as it wrapped its massiveness around me; squeezing, squeezing out what life remained in me. Day after day the sly and ever so seductive creature injected me with more lies and false promises, blinding my eyes and heart from the truth! Suddenly I'm choking! I can't breath!! I feel the serpent's now bloated, steamy tissue pressing against my twisted heart! It's red seering eyes jeering at me from behind a skull coiled in fiery flesh! I scream as life's fangs rip my soul from my flesh, leaving me alone, alone...forever. GODLESS!!!
