- "Slimy humans" are not easy to avoid, Phyllis ... but Black Mamba: the chance to meet it, is very small :) - Many thanks for visiting and your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

The most venomous, dark, sinister, deadly poisonous creature alive - but there are humans who would also fit this description - wonderful clever write but despicable creatures all of them. Hugs, Jenny.

What an ugly creature this is, great to use for a metaphor it bears a striking resemblance to some who have crossed my life’s path! Good write :) hugs

Deep and compelling, Anne-Lise. What a horrible creature the black mamba is. (Had to look it up. Thought it was an insect, but it's a snake.) Predators who bite "several times" are especially frightening though this snake's venom could do the trick with one bite. Awesome work, Anne Lise! Hugs, Carolyn
