Jeff awoke and uncurled and tried to move his arms but felt they and his hands were struck to his sides. He looked and saw his hands and arms were fusing to his sides. [Well there go my hands and arms.] Jeff thought. Eric entered the room and looked at Jeff. Jeff slithered over to Eric and reared up. By now Jeff was nearly 9 foot long and towered over Eric. Eric was very impressed by the size of Jeff and smiled. Eric put out a hand and Jeff lowered his head so Eric could pet it. Eric's warm hand petting him felt really good. "Good snake." Eric said with a smile. That made Jeff feel really good. Eric then laid down on his bed to finish his report. Jeff got up on the bed and curled up next to him. Eric was pleased by this action and pulled out his laptop. Jeff looked at the screen and realised he couldn't read anything Eric typed. Jeff wasn't alarmed by this because he was a snake and snakes of course can't read.
