I took one of the baby Green Water Snakes home today. I named her Luna.
I fell in love.
It felt wrong, holding her in a little plastic box forever. I took her to the canal by my house, and I let her go. I watched her swim away about ten minutes ago.
I honestly feel heartbroken. I miss my Luna. I wish she could stay with me forever. She loved me. She only bit me once.
It's good to feel. I raise my glass to you tonight, Luna. I hope you live a long and happy life.
