Aah you see, a train on its tracks is a very similar sound to the legendary Gargantuan Rattlesnail, which is as big as a train carriage. They reach speeds of up to 3 miles per hour and live primarily feasting on topiary trees and bushes 🤭
He hasn’t made it into one of my stories yet but I’ll write him in one day.
He was thought up on a trip to Wupatki National Monument in Arizona - I have no idea what was making a slow clicking noise there but it definitely sowed a seed of inspiration 😄
A deadly slow chase ensues 💨🐌🐍
‘Chase’ is a strong word 🤭
Thanks PancakeSushi! ❤️ May you never find yourself pursued - those things never sleep ____🐌

That's it ! Genetic engineering has GONE TOO FAR. First it was the arboreal octopus, now it's rattlesnails.... 🐍🐌🐍

I love how unbothered and slow this little guy is, like the poem itself refused to rush. tiny creature, big personality. super fun, super gentle~
I’m happy my pace has slowed down to snail speed, to let your lovely words soak in 🐌

Why did I read this and think about the sound a train makes as it moves on its tracks.
