The Horror Of The Underground Serpents

One day there were two boys named Jim and Ricky. They were eating lunch at Ricky’s house when they decided to take a walk. They walked for at least twenty minutes until they say a staircase leading underground. They followed the staircase down until they saw a sight only seen in fairy tales. They say mounds of gold, gems, and food.

They decided to spend the night and they used Ricky’s cell phone to tell his mom they were spending the night at Jim’s house. They ate dinner and dessert and went to sleep. Ricky woke up. He heard a hissing sound nearby.

He tried to tell Jim but he was sound asleep. Suddenly he saw a serpent with blood dripping from its mouth. He quickly hid behind a stack of gold and watched his friend. He quickly went up the staircase and used the dirt to cover it up.

He called Jim’s mom and told her they saw a man with a gun and he shot Jim. She wept, wept, and wept. Ricky felt sorry for her. And still the mystery of the serpents remains.
