Snakes in the Rain

Teeth bit out chunks of flesh as the big boy worked on hauling the snake to land. Letting out go back in the water hadn't even crossed his mind. It had attacked so it should pay the price, right? The woman had it behind the head again and the man held the back end. Chimera worked his jaws into the reptiles tender stomach. Already it's throes were weakening. Soon the snake was dead, its struggles ceased. Casting his gaze to the Male and the female, Chimera stooped, coiled the dead beast around him, and began awkwardly carrying it back with him. He could use a good snake skin.
