On a bare hi-way in the middle of the dessert, a turtle, a rabbit, and a snake stood on the shoulder of the road. “No cars have driven by all day.” Says the rabbit. “My luck is so good that if I was to cross a semi would come and turn me into a blister on the road.” Replied the turtle. The snake, I believe his name was Benny, stood there in utter silence pondering what to do, not saying a word.
They all wanted to get to the other side, but none of them had the nerve to attempt it. It went on like that for several hours, the three animals wanting to cross the road to get to the old abandoned gas station. They thought that there might be other animals in there. The rabbit says, “There might be other rabbits, turtles, and snakes that we can talk to and have lots of fun with. You never know it might be a swinging party in there. There might even be butterflies, lizards, and all sorts of other animals that…” The turtle interrupts, “Did you eat one of those mushrooms we walk by yesterday?” The rabbit just stood there silent hanging his head. But the turtle knew…
The day before it was just the rabbit and the turtle. It was mere moments before they spotted the snake slithering around a hollowed out skull waiting for some helpless dessert animal to waltz by. They quickly hid behind a cactus. The rabbit was standing by what looked to be large multi-colored mushrooms. Thinking that the turtle wasn’t looking, he swooped every last one of them into his mouth. “YOU EVIL BASTARD!” thought the turtle. But he kept quiet, knowing what the rabbit was in for.
As the turtle started to walk and attempt to sneak by the snake the rabbit began to hear something in the back of his mind. “Innagadadaveda honey, don’t you know that I love you…” Stars at 3 in the afternoon? In the dessert? What was this crazy thing that was happening to the now full rabbit. He had unknowingly eaten an entire patch of hallucinogenic mushrooms. The rabbit quickly climbed the cactus that was providing cover from the snake. He was atop it and apparently in some sort of spiritual frenzy. The snake was confused…boggled…why would an animal that is easy prey for this predator be holding himself in the open like this? The turtle was continuing to sneak by when he instantly found himself in a coil by the snake. The snake was not I a killing mood. He settled the turtle’s nerves from “Goodbye cruel world!” to “ What the hell is that rabbit doing?” The snake, in a token of respect from the animals climbed up the cactus and safely brought the rabbit down. The rabbit had told the snake of their quest. The snake wanted to come. The turtle welcomed him. The rabbit would have welcomed him, but he was to busy lying on the ground and wondering the great presence of life on this planet. It was at this pivotal moment that the snake was now a part of the journey.
Back on the hi-way the three animals still stood, and not a car has gone by. Benny the Snake comes up with an idea to where they can get across the road safely and unharmed. The plan seemed easy to everyone. The turtle would go first, then the rabbit while the snake kept an eye out for cars. Once they were across then they would keep a lookout as the Benny crossed the dessert road. “Ready, set…” The Benny paused, grinned to himself and told the turtle to go and then a few seconds later he told the rabbit to start across. Both the rabbit and the turtle stopped dead in their tracks right in the middle of the road just to turn around and ask the snake if there were any cars coming. “No, of coarse not. Would I lie to you guys?” confidently said the snake. The rabbit and the turtle then looked at each other and started to dart across but before they could take one more step a giant semi-truck came flying down the road and crushed both animals flat. When the truck stopped to see what he had hit. The snake slithered under the truck to the other side of the road not even looking back, safe and sound.
When he reached the gas station he crawled through a little hole that was burrowed in the wall. After he was inside he immediately started having a blast. Meeting new friends, eating lots of food, and telling the old story of how he got across the road. No one seemed to mind that much that he sacrificed the now splattered rabbit and turtle for his own advancement. Why not, a room full of reptiles is a safe haven for a scurvy snake like this. There was small lizard passing out drinks, one by one…free of charge. It was a far better place, sitting here drinking with these fine people than slithering around a hollow skull.
As quickly as the Lizards started having they’re fun, it ended. Three dunk hillbilly armadillos walked in with their guns in hand. They had notice many innocent fuzzy creatures sped along the road. They had had enough of watching hard scaled lizards take advantage of these graceful creatures. T. Rex, the leader of the three rogue armadillos wanted silence. For moments there was no sound, just an eerie feeling of “Will I die?” Outside of the station not a sound could be heard. Benny the snake was sneaking out. But by the time he took his sigh of relief, he looked up and realized that it was his last as two drunken redneck teens had used a rusty axe to split his head in half. I guess that the last thing that was going through Benny’s head, other than the axe, was the single thought, “What did I do to deserve this?”
