I was part of a professional soccer team and lived with one of my teammates. This particular teammate had a pet snake. The snake could walk like it had legs by twisting itself into loops and 'walking' like each loop was a leg. The snake cage (which was more like an open cardboard box) was right next to my bed. I was mad at my roommate because the snake would sometimes get under my covers.
I quit the team so that I wouldn't have to be near the snake. My ex-roommate still visited me but would bring along that damned snake. He would let it slither around in my presence and I would get really really mad. It would also come in my direction.
An older woman came by one day looking for the snake. My ex-roommate and and I looked for it everywhere. I got nervous thinking that it might be in the pants I was wearing and frantically checked them to make sure. All of a sudden I realized that the snake was in my hair. I leaned over so he could take it out. It was wrapped in my hair like a hair tie. I started crying and wandering around trying to find someplace to take a shower.
