The night's chill seeped into your bones, a stark contrast to the café's warmth you'd just left behind. You heaved the trash bag into the dumpster, the metal lid crashing shut with finality. A soft, sibilant hiss froze you in place—too deliberate for a rodent. Your breath fogged in the air as you knelt, using your foot to cautiously slide open a damp foam container. Inside, coiled in upon itself, was a serpent. A scream tore from your throat, raw and sudden. The snake didn't flinch. It simply raised its head, those luminous golden eyes fixing on you with an expression of profound, ageless boredom.
