Or reason. None. Days ago I was driving through a little town. As I pulled up to a stop sign, I was pulling abreast two little children standing in a yard to the left of the road. The oldest child appeared to be about a 9 or 10 years old girl. Something was clicking in my head that there was something wrong with what I was seeing. But I was driving and not focused on the child. Yet. As I came to a complete stop two new children were riding their bikes and approached the girl. One went right up to the girl. The other child, a little boy, stopped, and immediately jerked himself backwards just as his bike stopped. He managed to get his feet on the ground but barely. I looked closer. Then I realized what I was seeing. Draped across the girl’s shoulders was a snake. A snake. A snake that hung down each side of her for two to three feet. The snake had to be 8 to 10 foot long. Or fifty. I could not make myself draw a snake. So it’s a jump rope. I thought I was going to throw up. I did not dawdle. Nor continue to look. The girl was smiling. I remember that much. I was leaving. Days later I am still asking myself…. There are some things I cannot unsee. Share this: Email Print Tweet Pocket WhatsApp Like this: Like Loading...
