Hey, Cryptofi. While your stories seem to intrigue me always, you should be made aware that serialized stories go against the rules of the community.
With that aside, I do hope there's a way you bring a conclusion to this in the form of a full story.
Okay noted, thanks for the information.
An intriguing beginning. Taken as a complete story, the ending is not satisfactory, but still the story holds interest. You have done a good job, as far as this goes. The idea of a snake, of course, is highly symbolic. We can almost fill in an ending.
As @amirtheawesome1 suggests, we don't encourage serials. It's hard for people to keep track from week to week. They might not catch one of the episodes and then the other episodes will make no sense to them. Serials only work if each piece can stand alone as a separate story. You are a good writer. I know you can manage this.
Thank you for posting this story in the Ink Well community.
Thanks for the comment, is understandable... Really appreciate
