I never really liked change. I told that to Ms. Evangeline once, and she explained that while changing is hard, eventually it just becomes normal, and she was right. Being a maverick eventually felt normal; all my classmates getting together eventually felt normal; leaving school eventually felt normal, and even taking the main reins from you and the sharp gang eventually became less uncomfortable. So I guess change isn't so bad for me, and I hope the changes in your new reincarnation aren't too bad for you.
Maybe I should stop complaining and just live with what I have, but on the other hand I've been working out everyday to make myself visually appealing, and I don't know if I'm just overthinking it all but I think I'm a semi decent person to talk too I just don't know why I struggle so much to make anything other then sexual, and platonic relationships, like I have friends, I have had sexual partners but when it comes to an enjoyable romantic intimate relationship nope nothing, all quiet on the western front, But what are your thoughts. Also I'd like to say I'm not at all upset a the chick I liked, I'm happy she was able to share that with me and I'm glad she feels comfortable with me I'm just well upset and a lil salty about my current situation
This story is based off of Snake Discovery’s Nearly Headless Nick, the eyeless Garter Snake, and motivation comes from @jenny-jinya and her sad grim reaper comics. It will be in the Point of View of Nearly Headless Nick
It was a nice day today, until it happened. I was slithering, looking for small mice when sudden blades of death sliced one of my eyes clean off. That’s when I first met death. He told me that I was very lucky that the lawnmower didn’t hurt me badly enough for him to take me, at first I was confused, then he kindly pointed me in a direction before leaving. I followed his direction, and before I knew it, I was picked up by humans. It was really scary, but the humans kept me in a glass case and gave me a safe place for me to heal, and they fed me and were really nice.
Weeks later a new pair of humans picked me up and gave me a place in their home and they fed me and cared for me, and I smelled other Garters and other snakes nearby. I eventually gathered that their names were Emily and Ed, and they liked recording me with what they call a “camera”. I felt so lucky to be alive and in good care. They even gave me a name, “Nearly Headless Nick.”
Though, my remaining eye was really hurting. I was going blind and my own eye could kill me if it got too bad, after waiting some time, Emily and Ed took me to a place where another kind human removed my other eye. I knew my face was really deformed by then, but I was happy.
After I learned my case, where what I think a cave was, and had help being fed, I stayed there for about a year or two, happy. Then I was picked up, I thought I was getting food, then I smelled a female garter snake by me. I was kinda nervous, but I told her what happened to me after she asked what happened to me. “You think my face is bad, you should’ve seen the lawnmower!” I was put into the case with the girl. I was very nervous at first, but she eventually told me where the cave was and let me share it with her. I also learned her name was CMax. Eventually, me and the girl were moved into a huge case, it put me into shock when I realised it, I had to pause to take it all in!
It was 2 months of living in the larger case with the female, but one day I couldn’t hold myself up anymore. Emily, I could recognize her voice, came in and watched me struggle, she sounded sad. I knew I couldn’t keep up any more. Then I met Death again that day. He said he was sorry for me when he took my spirit, but I could see again. All I could get myself to tell death was “Thank you”, though. I thanked him for pointing me to a place where I could heal up and get the best last two years of my life, and he said “You’re welcome, Nick.”
After a week or so with Death, he brought me back to see Emily one last time. I was confused, then I realised she was making one of her videos for all who watched her videos. She said that I saved the lives of multiple other Garter Snakes, and death nodded agreeingly. It made me so happy, I helped other Garters not get hurt. And she also said something I was completely unaware of, she had taken in a Brazillian Rainbow Boa who was born with no eyes, and then I realized she was holding him. She said if it wasn’t for me she wouldn’t have taken in the Boa. I wish the Boa, which I learned his name is Mad Eyeless Moody, the best of luck, knowing how kind Emily and Ed are. I once again thanked Death for showing me that, I was truly happy. I couldn’t help but feel bad for seeing Emily and Ed sad, but they complimented me and… I wish I could speak human, I would’ve said goodbye and thank them for helping me. And I would’ve said I loved them like a family.
Me and Death are great friends now. He occasionally brings me back to Emily and Ed’s place to see the new news, one of the news that even he was unsure about was a new garter, one with two heads, being born by CMax’s mom. He brought me when Emily and Ed went to do something called “Herping” and they found a Bullsnake without eyes, but Death said that he knew that he’ll have to take that snake soon if it struggles finding food, and Emily said to her camera that she won’t take in the Bullsnake if it did have that disease, which made me feel bad for the Bull, but Emily made a good point and didn’t want to risk putting all the other snakes I smelled and eventually saw in danger. I wished the Bull luck before Death took me back to his realm.
All the other snakes in Death’s realm love my stories and are impressed by me. I even learned that some of them knew Emily and Ed, an Albino one named Fatness told me more and more good things about them. I wish Emily and Ed luck the most, as they were the nicest Humans I could ever know.
