#anywhere

*************

And the hired men scream and twitch... as the images haunt them... the nightmares left behind by the girl with the serpent tongue.

In their dreams.. in their nightmares, the chicanery runs wild...

in their dreams, they're not themselves, but their victims

in their dreams... the men gather around them, with leeers and grins

and they open their eyes, they wake up... and the nightmares still won't end

not for several minutes.

Somewhere a snake girl wishes it would last longer
