A Routine Day Turned Unusual
A group of construction workers was very busy with their routine on what would otherwise be a perfect normal day, unaware of how quickly the course of their day would soon turn out of the ordinary. Working near a clearing, one of them noticed something unusual-a coiled, enormous figure left partially hidden. They hardly could believe what they saw, having initially thought that it should be some kind of prank or an unusual shadow. But as they edged closer, slowly, it came apparent that this was no trick of the eye or fantasy.
The workers instinctively looked up and ran forward, caught and half frightened by the enormity of the serpent before them. They had known snakes, but not this kind certainly not in their wildest dreams. This snake was gargantuan, much bigger than any they had ever seen in life; and its size startled, then intrigued everyone. The workers silently stood through this stillness and inescapable sense of enormity of the creature as it really impinged on them for the first time.
It was though the discovery appeared ominous at first glance, the workers could not but check it. The snake was lying motionless as though it had deep sleep, making them question whether they were indeed facing a living creature. They looked at each other, and then back, nervously contemplating whether to move closer or away. As they moved around the snake, it became noticeably obvious that they had found something unique, mysterious, and even deadly.
