THE FUSE

You are outside on a clear evening. As you gaze out across the dewy grass, you notice dozens of snakes in the distance, a massive tangle of pythons inexplicably colored neon pink, orange, and green. Just as you spot these gargantuan reptiles, they turn in unison so that every single one of them is looking right at you. They open their mouths, displaying their fangs. And then the pythons writhe in your direction, moving at rapid speed.
