I should have let that snake bite me. A couple days ago me and my family went to the river for the fourth, and I hiked further upriver to see if I could find any flowers(I collect and press them). I was on a sort of sandy little path, and I didn't hear anything. But I kid you not, not even a foot away from my bare toes, there was a little rattlesnake, coiled up and about ready to bite me. It was young too, so it's rattle didn't make any noises. Had I not seen it and stepped back, it would have bitten me. And honestly, looking back, I should have let it. I had the perfect opportunity. Far from the rest of my family, by a river in the middle of nowhere... fuck, I regret not letting it bite me so much...
