Medusa

Sam's POV*******

In the pet shelter, we saw a white snake staring at us.

"Aaawn. She's adorable!" Angel cooed.

I wasn't paying attention because I and the snake were in some sort of staring competition.

I wasn't a fan of animals, but something about this snake just...

"Sam? Isn't she adorable?"

That snake could be described with so many words, but adorable was not part of it.

"What's her name?" She asked.

I saw the name tag "Medusa"

"Oooh. Cool. Meds!" She echoed and prolonged the 's' sound.

"Can I touch her?" She asked.

One of the shelter workers came up and stood in front of the glass case where the snake was kept.

"Sorry, miss. The snake is not friendly. It's bitten many people"

"It's poisonous?" I asked and glanced at the snake that hissed at me.

"No, but it frightened the people, she's mainly for display until we don't know what to do with her"

"No! You're sending her back into the wild. She'll be prey for many animals!"

"Well – Ah?!"

...?!
