Write about the mythical or science fiction creatures/beings that could actually exist. Imagine a world where there was definitive proof of their existence - how would life be different?

I am not sure I am creative enough to answer this prompt. I read it last night and have been giving it a LOT of thought. Still, all I can come up with is at one point, before the fall of man, before God cursed snakes to slither upon their bellies, it is said they had wings and could fly. Imagine living in a world where snakes could fly!

I do not hate snakes, but I do not like them either. I do not go out of my way to encounter them. Think how large some snakes get. Think of the ones that are poisonous and deadly. Now, think of them with the ability to fly! I doubt I'd be brave enough to ever venture outside my house in a world that had flying snakes! No thank you!! It is bad enough they lurk and hide in unsuspecting places where a human or beast can accidentally invade their space and get attacked. But I can't imagine if they didn't have to hide. If they could take flight and soar in the sky. No bird would ever be safe. I can picture dozens of snakes dive-bombing populated areas.

While I am not at all happy about the fall of man and all it brought upon mankind, I AM glad snakes were cursed to be grounded, never more to fly again.
