Whoa! That was intense. You are good at building tension and suspense. At first, I thought Matthew was having a bad dream because he saw the snake, went back to bed and did nothing about it. Dozier is an ever-loyal friend and helps his master the best way he can.
The question Monica asks Matthew at the end gives me the impression that there's some symbolism attached to the snake's colour or does it have to do with knowing how poisonous it is? A very intriguing story. I enjoyed reading. 😊Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day. !PIMP !LADY 💕
