Before His Destination

Before his destination, he started to look back, Almost believing, that he just wasn't on track... He said: "Nothing looks familiar, so I must be lost". "Or is this just the first time that I've been this way?"   Trying to remember, he became confused in the mist. But, Just about that time, he heard something of a hiss. He thought that it was a tire, starting to go flat... That's when he heard, what sounded like a splat.   "No, that sound is coming from inside the car." He said with a jeer. That's when he felt something, bite him on the rear. Trying to control the car, and come to a stop, he turned sideways, and landed on his top. That's when he saw the snake slither away... It crawled out the window, that was down part way.   Now, he's in a predicament, to be sure, He needs a doctor, and he needs a cure. He dialed 911 on his cell phone, and let out a scream. Because that's when he saw the message: "Out of Area", on his screen.   He said: "Oh well, nobody would suck the poison out, anyway."   Trying to unbuckle his seat belt, he found that it was too tight, as the blood rushes to his head, he struggled with all his might. So, he passed out, and continued to hang upside down, and a little to the right.   Now, this position kept the poison from his heart... as they took him to the hospital, upside down in a cart.
