I was taking a relaxing walk through my yard with Tom Scott as he recorded a video reviewing a new feature on Google Maps. As we were walking a snake slithered out from behind a tree in the yard. Startled, I would attempt to walk back but tripped, agitating the snake and causing it to strike. Bitten, I grabbed the snake by the base of the head, pushing its snout into the dirt and snapping it’s neck. All seemed fine and we began to walk back into the house, on the way a queasy feeling overcame my body and I keeled over, dying.
