My senses were alert. Sensing a small critter approximately a few feet away, I patiently waited until it was closer. Using surprise as my ally, I explosively leapt towards my prey, devouring the morsel in a single bite.

  Figuratively licking my non-existent lips with a forked tongue. I detached myself from my temporary home, a log.

  Sighing I slithered along the forest floor. "Why!" I mentally shouted. Why! Did I have to be reborn a...a..snake. I was a genius....a genius! My life should have been smooth sailing.

  I really was a 'genius' . A genius archer that is, able to hit any target dead center. Well within reasonable distance though. I accomplished many achievements. Big companies even offered to sponsor me. Letting them, I became rich quick.

  During my first olympics expectations were high. But alas fate for a genius is harsh. The second day of the olympics, the archer competition began. I easily made it to the semi finals not disappointing anyone. Yet thats where my luck ended.....When going for an early morning jog to relieve some stress. I noticed a kid walking on the other side of the road. Suddenly as a speeding slick, red mercedes approached. The kid accidentally tripped on the curb, and landed in the path of the speeding car.

  I was faced with the hardest decision of my life. In the end I tried to reason with myself that my life was off far more importance........but my terrible kind nature emerged. I rushed towards the kid. Hauling him over to the other side, the Mercedes seemed to notice the situation and tried to break. But...alas it was too late.

  Hitting me with a force weighing in the tons. I felt my bones snap, and my internal organs rupture. The woman in the car seemed to call for help. But I knew they wouldn't make it on time.

  I died slow and painfully, when I took my last breath. I truly felt ire at god, for giving me a life envied by many only to take it back at the last second......
