Snake Hunt (job/plot)

job:

The street urchin turned cave dweller found himself in a very tense and dangerous situation here in the dunes of the sand. He had went out on the hunt in order to acquire more food for his unquenchable hunger. This had led to the mysterious snake like being to tracking down some horses and devouring them in a animalistic state where he was not seeing clearly in a literal meaning of the word. He had devoured the beast but when he had come to his senses he had come to the discovery that these were not wild horses, but ones domesticated. Along with the horse, he had realized that he had devoured a human being.

He started to feel sick and like he wanted to vomit but his body did not react in any such manner. His alien and mysterious body seemed to betray the boy and seemed to enjoy the taste of man mixed in with the horse. A waterfall of saliva rained down into the scorching hot sand as the snake salivated heavily as he thought about this new taste, the taste of human. He just had a sample of it and his hunger was craving it now, screaming for human flesh.

He would start to come to his senses once again as his mind begins on to focus the situation that he is now in. There were 5 men on horses, around him and clearly startled by what had happened. But in the time it took the creature to come to his sense, the men were also able to gather their thoughts and gain some rational thinking. They were attacked by a large snake and they had to quickly go on the offensive and attack the beast in order to protect themselves as well as those from where they have come from.

A spear would whiz past the long, slim body of the snake before he realized what was happening. He realized he was now being hunted. He had to flee, retreat and hide in his home. He would start to slither away from them at his quickest speed and could hear the cacophony of hooves in tight pursuit. He wanted to reduce into his smallest size but due to the large meal that he had consumed that would be highly improbable.

He was not going to be capable of evading the horses at this size so he would have to try to erase his presence as much as possible. As he was fleeing, his body would appear to shiver as his scales flared to turn his body fossorial. Now he buried his head into the sand diving down into it as a dolphin or whale would in the ocean.

Now in the sand he would bury deep into it so that his body would not cause ripples in the surface as he slithered underneath in the ground. The pursuers would loose sight as they tried to find any signs of his tracks but all hopes were lost. The beast that they were hunting has gotten away so now they and to regroup and go get help.

While he had escaped his pursuers he knew this was not done. He had time to gather his thoughts and knew that he could no longer flee. If he did not hunt the men then there was a chance of word reaching a village or town of his presence in this desert putting him in constant danger. He did not like the idea of killing fellow humans but at this moment it was a matter of his own safety.
