Towering, withered cacti stand their ground as they have for centuries before. There are so many cacti that no one is able to see through the dense field. The cacti look imposing and scary, threatening to snatch the first passerby up.
Cactus Field, Desert

I live in the forest under some branches. I carry poison in my fangs that I use to paralyze and eat my prey. If someone steps on my home, I am sure to strike them in the leg.
Oh......ssssssstay put... let them come closer if they dare.... Worry not little snake. We are merely here to inspect the cacti fields. We wish you no harm. He sees me! I attack! Can I not go through one day without being attacked by man nor beast? I am weary of the violence. This one wants some too!! Have a bite! I feel funny. What is happening to me. My vision is getting blurry. Ha! Not so mighty now, humans! Oh what's this? Sssssshiny! Am I dying? Why did you kill me? I have always been a friend to the snake community. I will never see my beloved family again. Why is this human still not gone. I think he needs another dose! Please snake, stop attacking me and give me a drink of the water from the canteen. Have you no compassion?  I think it wants do pass away with his shinny object. Ok there you go Water, I need water. The thirst is unbearable. My tongue is swollen and I cannot breathe. Please help me.
