Pain, then blackness.
...
Then pain again. I opened my eyes. Ceiling. Headache. Hangover? I slowly got up, figuring I must have had one hell of a party... dreams of snakes and... Giant anaconda. As my vision became focussed I saw a huge snake coiled around the room. It must have been thirty feet long, and a foot and a half thick at least. I tried to jump back, but I only bumped into more snake. I was frightened, but... I touched my chest. No heartbeat. And why was the snake grinning?
"I sssseee you've regained your ssssensssesss... if not your life. Thissss wassss not the plan, but it will ssssuffisssse. We will figure sssssomething out. In the meantime, I wissssh to be more sssssnake. Much more... Go to the sssstore and buy more ssssnake oil. Much more. If you do not obey me, I will not give you more venom, and you will die permanently. Sssssimple, yesss? If you are a good sssservant, and make me the biggesssst ssssnake ever, I will grant you your life back."
I gulped. "O...okay?"
She giggled. A most peculiar sound coming from a snake. What was going on inside that scaled head?

"Heheh. Silly... you should watch the discovery channel more... Anacondas aren't venomous. Nevermind. This is the only way to get you to make me bigger. You'll thank me later, when I'm a snake goddess."
