A Dream

Last night I had a dream that I was riding a bicycle down a forest trail. Ahead of me was a large rattlesnake lying across the road apparently asleep. I stopped and looked for a way around but then became aware that all along the trail and even within striking distance were various vipers that blended in with the foliage, all in a state of stupor. I carefully turned the bike around and rushed back along the trail. That's where the dream ended.
