Davina kept staring at the dead body of the ferocious mongoose.
The teenagers were running all around to get into the school buses. She checked the time on her watch. She could get the 5 o'clock bus if she hurried a little.
As she was waiting for the bus near the shop across the road, she saw the cobra slithering on the open road! She was paralized! She knew she needed help before it was too late but no sound came out of her throat!
The mongoose sprang out of the bushes on the side of the road. The cobra didn’t shy away and kept lashing out at the mongoose with its fangs. But the later was one plucky fella. The ferocity with which he attacked the snake was something unbelievable!
At the end, bloodied, both were lying dead!
Davina thanked God and the Mongoose for a lucky escape.
Prompt #17 involved choosing five words from a FlashFlood story.
