In Their Own Story

The fluorescent lights of the snake parliament flickered above the scaled assembly. The leader hissed, its forked tongue tasting the air thick with tension and ozone. Rick stood at the podium, grinning despite the venom dripping from the ceiling. "You think you're kings," Rick slurred, holding a small device. "But I brought a ladder to this cage." The Snake's eyes narrowed, pupils contracting into vertical slits as it coiled tighter around its throne of bones.
