The sound echoed through the quiet forest, sending shivers down my spine. Its scales glistened in the sunlight, as it moved effortlessly through the underbrush. I watched in awe, both terrified and fascinated by its presence. The snake stopped and turned its head towards me, its eyes locking with mine. I knew then that I was in its territory, and I needed to be cautious. Slowly, I backed away, never taking my eyes off the dangerous creature. And just like that, the snake disappeared into the shadows, leaving only the memory of its menacing hiss behind.
