Mopping up...
~Wet…feeling water lap against legs that felt boneless... Arms stretched out, one hand clutching at shredded reeds…a curious ringing in his ears… ~ someone knelt beside him speaking words he couldn’t understand. A hand gently covered his eyes, and he felt a sudden pain shoot through his lower back. The voice whispered softly in English, “Rest now.”
“Oh, god, here! Over here!” Warm hands carefully turned him over, brushed the dirt off his face gently. “Hang on, Colin! Dammit, don’t give up now!” He smiled faintly as the world spun away again…
Colin’s eyes opened to a pure white room. An IV was dripping slowly, trailing its way into his arm. He remembered the storm, being dragged (washed overboard?) off the boat… “Ryan…”
“Shhh… It’s all right… Ryan’s back in the States, don’t you remember, Colin?” It was George, his biologist friend. “Man, I thought we were going to lose you! I don’t know how you did it, even with falling overboard, but you managed to find more than we did.” His face was beaming.
“What are you talking about?”
“When we found you, you were as naked as the day you were born, except for this…” George slipped what looked like a large dry cleaning bag out of his briefcase. As it unrolled, it resembled an extra-extra large condom. “This, my dear sir, is evidence of a species of snake previously unknown! It’s a shed snakeskin, Colin! And that’s not even the whole body! But what we have here is almost 20 feet long! I want to name it Mochries Serpens Caeruleus Gigantis – after all, you found it.”
Colin tried to sit up, but stopped as a wave of dizziness swept over him. There was a sharp pain in his shoulder.
“Easy! You got banged up pretty bad when you fell overboard – something managed to get your shoulder, but the doc says there’s no real damage… you got lucky. The local curandero said that you’d been saved by the god of the river.” George shook his head. “You should have seen him, Col –dressed only in a loincloth and an ancient pair of Converse All Stars and looking older than God’s grandfather. He’s the one who found you – wouldn’t let us come close until he’d checked you out.”
Memory fragment – a warm hand, pain… blackness…

Date: 2007-08-30 11:54 pm (UTC)Thanks. I really struggled with that - I wanted something that was Latin and *could* have been chosen to describe the skin (and its former inhabitant).
Mochrie's giant blue-green serpent. Cap'n Obvious would have approved.

Mochrie's giant blue-green serpent. Of course.

Mochrie's huge bluish-coloured snake
Also:
Mochrie's snake? Cae rules: big! (stretching it a bit, I like that one too)
Yeah, Captain Obvious would have loved it!
:D

Re: the suspense........
Date: 2007-08-30 11:49 pm (UTC)Well, after consuming a prize stallion, don't you think a growth spurt might be in order? :-) A gourmet meal, a little hard core inter-species sex, shed your skin... Life's good for a naga!

I've been close enough to (almost) touch him and Brad at their show, and he's NOT the meek and mild, humble-n-lovable shoeshine boy. He has a sense of POWER that doesn't come across on tv.
Am I dithering?
Yep.
Now you know my secret shame: I'm a chicken.
Re: *sigh of the happy*
Date: 2007-09-01 07:28 am (UTC)And yeah, about that sending stuff to him.... heh heh... *shifty eyes sweats bullets*

Date: 2007-09-01 04:27 am (UTC)An error message came up saying my computer couldn't save it...
I lost EVERYTHING! I got back what I've posted here by cutting and pasting it back together, but everything after that, about 200 words? POOF!

I hate it when that happens. :(

Date: 2007-09-03 11:52 pm (UTC)I have Avast! resident protection but sometimes I run a boot-time scan or a thorough scan and see if anything has slipped through. It was unfortunately necessary after I visited some gayporn sites looking for manipable pics for Ry/Col porn. Learned my lesson... but now I'm slightly paranoid and tend to overreact when something unusual happens. :D
You can get Avast! here. http://avast.com/eng/download.html
But then again, if your problem has only occurred once, then probably you don't even have an infection there and I'm giving you unnecessary headache with this whole virus nonsense :) Sorry. :)
Just in case, these guys could probably help you more. http://forum.avast.com/
