Horror brushed against my leg

Something brushed up against my foot and my surprise turned to horror as I looked down and saw a huge scary Snake. I screamed like the world was ending and at the same time I was thinking that there couldn’t be any snakes in New Zealand but I kept screaming. When it started slithering up onto the couch, we were practically playing tag. It kept on following me everywhere I went so it was getting a bit boring screaming so I stopped. So I ran outside and quickly shut the door but when I turned around it was behind me.

I couldn’t open the door because it was locked, so I checked if there were any windows open. There was! When I got there I realized that I couldn’t jump through a window. That didn’t really help. So I quickly sprinted over the snake and for some reason it got fatter and longer than before. And that’s when I started panicking. Do you know how people say that snakes don’t have eyelids well that means they can’t blink and you can’t tell when their sleeping. And that was my problem was it sleeping or does it just like staring. Anyway I went up to it and started waving to its eyes at the time I did not know what I was gonna do if I got gobbled by this huge monster but I tried anyway.

I quickly turned because I saw a shadow and it was the snake's tail creeping up on me. I tried to run but then I tripped over the tail. At that moment I thought I was going to be the snake’s lunch. But no it just slithered away.

“Whew” I said.

Then the snake actually turned around. That was the point I got furious. And then it started coming towards me and then I screamed then it hissed at me. Then I thought of eating it before it ate me, I even thought I sounded like a crazy person. Then I just blacked out. I woke up the next day in my bed. I figured out that is was dream. And I was gutted. I told my little brother all about it.

He said “ I know how to sleep with my eyes open now”.

It had been such a relief to wake up and discover it all had been a bad dream.
