2 Life matters. (1/2)

Okay, calm down David. It's going to be fine. The big guy is only doing what he has- Oh dear fucking god are those fangs?! They're as big as my entire body! I think anyway, kinda hard to tell. As I watch this huge (snake?) monster eat the little centipedes, my attention is naturally grabbed by a new heat source approaching from the other direction.

Okay, bad news bears over here. I'll just head on back into my dirt wall if I do say so myself. Yup. No need to fuck with those guys. I'm just an earthworm going to do earthworm things. Don't mind me, I'm just passing by. And with my internal dialogue complete, I shuttle my excruciatingly slow worm body right back into my wall.

Woooh! Oh Jeremy, I totally thought I was gonna die right there if I'm honest. That snake was way out of my league, I wouldn't be able to defend myself if I didn't have my centipede buddies going out of their way for me. Big lesson learned here.

Oho!

What's this? A new toy? Ok, seriously though bud if I don't know what this is it's going to be pretty shitty so can I get an explanation.

Fine! I'll figure this out myself.
