Snakes in the Rain

With two bites behind the snakes head now, it shouldn't last terribly long, the young Klein imagined. "We need to get it out of the water," his low tones growled. When it struck the next time, he rushed forward and sank his teeth into one of the back coils of the snake. Throwing his weight backwards, he began to jerk the heavy thing out of the water a little bit at a time. A snake on land was less dangerous than a snake in the water. This way you only had to worry about squeezing rather than squeezing and drowning. Thankfully they were on a fairly even patch of land. The ground was damp and squishy, but it would give them ample space to lay out the snake and kill it.
