Everglades

 

The little boy ran ahead of his parents.

They didn’t really notice. They never noticed.

It was totally safe there on the lonely little one lane road through the Everglades.

Coming to a culvert, he bent down to look into it. There was a log sticking out about a foot. As the little boy watched, the log slowly backed completely under the road.

Intrigued, he ran to the other end of the culvert in time to see the end of a thick scaly tail backing out.

His parents had caught up to him by now, but he didn’t tell them.
