Her arm was still outstretched when the beastly snake exploded and the sight of it sent a tremor down her spine. With a jerk the woman bent over and threw up, the sight of the gore turning out to be too much on top of her growing fatigue. She fell to her knees, scraping the skin and was surprised she didn’t black out. It actually made her bare her teeth in a victorious grin.
