[ WP ] `` I was burned , bludgeoned , poisoned and thrown into a river . But not in that order . ''

I begin to encroach on a small family farm in search of a plentiful bounty for my empty stomach. I am optimistic this would be the place in which I find relief. I come closer to the low dimmed setting to find a family surrounding the warmth of a fire. The livestock begin to stir in discomfort at the signs of an unwelcome visitor. I continue past in assurance that a meal lye in wait. Before I am able to survey the surrounding area I feel an intense pressure followed by severe pain on my spine. I swing around to see who or what was spearheading an assault on me. I connect eyes with a man, one of the same seeking warmth around the fire. In a disoriented shock, I turn around attempting to escape the mistake I made by coming here. Another eternal second passed and yet again another blow hits me just behind the head rendering me virtually useless. As I lay limp I feel my body being pulled closer to the glow of the fire. In a desperate attempt to flee, I struggle to escape the family members grasps. Nothing helps. The man hurls my lifeless body towards the fire. unable to comprehend what was happening to me, the flames begin to sizzle my skin. My last cognitive effort to preserve my own life was granted through instinct. I thrash and overturn my beaten, bloody body to once again escape the pain. As I make the last dash towards salvation my body could handle, I am lifted into the air. Unable to make sense of how or why this was happening to me, I am hurled into a cascade of rushing water. The current is incredibly powerful. Not allowing me to return to the surface for the air i require. I wish I was able to swim for my life. A rattle snakes capabilities are more lavishly displayed on land unfortunately. As I think about the events leading up to my own demise, I realize that I would have done the same to the man if he was strolling around my residence. No hard feelings I suppose. Just as soon the thought entered my mind, it was then gone.
