Contrast

In the noisy forest that loomed dark, dense and dreary a python, like a dead log lay without sound.

We have non-poisonous snakes in Malta. Would not wish to meet that deadly specimen. Your imagery is always great. Best for a win.

I've seen no pythons but have crossed path with a few rattlers in the wild. I give them a big arc. You first my friend.

SNAKES ARE MY NIGHTMARE AND FEAR - A PYATHON SLIDES CREEPILY AND DEATHLY SILENT, OR CURLS UP AND WITHOUT A SOUND awaits it's opportunity which does arrive IN contrast to the noisy forest with animal sounds, insect sounds, leaves rustling, breezy weather heralding a storm with lightening and thunder. Death and beauty BOTH PRESENT. Good luck in the contest. Hugs and love Jenny.
