SSSC- Black Mamba Death Incarnate

BLACK MAMBA DEATH INCARNATE

Evergreen's Washington State Crime Lab Forensic scientists are awaiting DNA reports coming out of Africa. The person of interest is Demitri Tsa a parliamentary messenger who viciously stabbed a prime minister to death, during a paliamentary session in 1966.
The purpose to determine whether Tsa killed for political reasons or because he was insane. Tsa believed a giant tapeworm in his stomach gave him orders. He spent 28 years on death row at a Central Prison (C-Max), before he was moved to a Psychiatric Hospital. In October 1999 he died in the Psychiatric Hospital at the age 81, after his DNA was obtained.

The Cargo Ship containing Tsa's DNA speciments was to leave the Okavango Delta, within 3 days. It's tentative arrival at Seattle's Pier 52 terminal in just a little over one month.

Okavango Delta loading Cargo Ship......

(Loud Screams heard) HOLY #! Did ya see that man? See what? yells another man. A BIG FREAK'IN SNAKE! My God it's at least 12 feet Long! The snake rises above the man's face hissing loudly. The black-lined mouth curved upward, on a coffin shaped head. Striking him over and over again! It has a neurotoxin so deadly one bite would cause the death of 20-40 grown men, within 15 minutes. The snake slithers under a trunk, waiting to be loaded onto the ship.
"GET ME A GUN I'VE GOTTA GET THAT S.O.B.!", yells Kero. Kero grabs a gun from a co-worker and heads towards the trunk while, the man on the ground gasps and took his last breath. The dark purple snake is ruthless and prepared to strike, but not before a bullet penetrates its inky black mouth and deadly fangs. The snake was dead with final spasms of its slender elongated body whipping from side to side.

The Medics arrive and after seeing the snake and immediately administer the Black Mamba antivenin....... knowing the victim was most likely dead anyways. This was to rule-out suspended animation, in the event the victim was not dead. The treatment was to no avail and the poor man was dead. Kero takes out his knife and cuts off the head of the snake being extremely careful not to touch the mouth area. A dead snake can still Kill! Then he slices open the snake and guts it out while, noticing that the snake had eggs. Kero yells, "That's too bad mama I'm making a belt out of you"

So much activity going on no one see's what's lurking, in the background. No one hears the hisses......He slithers on board the ship invisible with all the commotion.

Three days have past and the Cargo Ship was on the high seas heading for the Seattle pier. Cargo boxes were stacked high along with Mr. Tsa's DNA speciments. Hidden in between some boxes coiled-up was the *King of All Mambas.* Fourteen feet of imminent death awaiting it's next kill. For now, his stomach was full of big fat cargo ship rats. He's the fastest and second largest venomous snake in the world. He lies in wait......

Several weeks have past and the Seas are getting rough. Huge waves and high winds are rocking the Cargo Ship from side to side.
Stacked boxes are falling all around and glass breaking. One box came crashing down, busting open breaking the glass vial containing Tsa's DNA and cutting the sleeping Black Mamba. Lighting fast he rises up hissing and striking at thin air! Spectrums of venomous particles moisten the air. The men on board, except for the Captain are in their sleeping compartments, away from the snakes wrath. The seas finally calmed down and the Black Mamba is coiled-up almost like a Huge Cocoon in a closet area. He is in limbo for now.

Just one week to go before arriving, at the Pier 52 Terminal in Seattle. The men on board are getting excited for some R & R. It's been a rough trip cleaning up messes and scrubing the ship, but never cleaning the closet area. Loud ripping and tearing noises go unheard, at the snakes location. What appears to be one foot busts through the cocoon's entrapment then another and claws were ripping the tough elastic-like substance. What creature was emerging from the Black Mamba's cocoon? It stood nearly six and one half feet tall.....A human-like creature. Clothed in all black leather-like matter with waist length long pitch black shiny locks. Quite stunning with Cold dark and Vacant eyes...............

He walks around the Cargo area and sees his reflection in a metal mirror. He hisses while opening his inky black mouth revealing deadly fangs! Tsa's DNA injecting the sleeping Black Mamba changed it's whole metabolic and physical structure! Black Mamba Man Figure attempts to vocalize, but his long fork tonge forestalls it. He tries again and again. Finally a word that sounds like
K E R O ssssssssssssss comes out. He knows the scent of the man who killed his mate is on board the ship. A Giant Tapeworm from, within his body is telling him so. Mamba's feet are encased in leather-like matter and his gait is silent. He goes toward a door and turns the door knob, with his long fork tongue. The door opens and silently..... he walks, down the dark and dampen corridor. It's 4:30 a.m. and the men are starting to wake up in their bunks. Mamba knows exactly where Kero is.....

Kero is coming out of a deep sleep and feels a shadow of a figure standing over him. He Awakens rapidly and yells, "What do you want....... Who are you?" Within nano seconds Mamba's mouth opens wide and bites the face of the man who killed his mate. His Fangs injected 400 milligrams of neurotoxin,cardiotoxins and calciseptine with each strike. Mamba disappears at lighting speed back, into the cargo room. The other men rush towards Kero's bunk.... never seeing a thing. Kero's face was repugnant. His eyelids drooping, lacking muscle control and foaming at the mouth. He was confused with paralysis setting in and went into convulsions. A Medic put an oxygen mask full strength to Kero's mouth and nose.... yet he still gasps for breath. He was suffocating, because of paralysis of the muscles used for breathing. CPR was immediately started to no avail....Kero died within minutes. The men and the Medic couldn't figure out what the Hell Happened! The cause of death would be determined by an autopsy when the ship docks in Seattle. For now...... the Medic listed the cause of death as a Myocardium Infarction, due to an unknown origin.

Another day passes and the Captain views in his scope the Seattles Pier 52 terminal. He tells the crew to prepare for docking. The men are excited and anxious to get, off the boat. Kero's death didn't even cross their minds. The men busily drop anchors, attach tie-downs and start unloading cargo. They moved with great haste knowing the sooner they got done.....the sooner they can go on R and R. This was the perfect time for The Black Mamba to leave the ship without notice. Everyone is just too busy doing what needs to be done.

Mamba moves swiftly away from the Pier Area and onto First Avenue, otherwise known as skid row. A run-down part of a town frequented by vagrants, hookers and alcoholics. All wanting money or booze for small favors. Mamba slows down his pace trying not to be so obvious. He was handsome with high cheek bones, as long as he didn't open his mouth. His long black hair flowed with the gentle winds. It didn't take long before an unwashed vagrant approaches Mamba, for a hand out. "Hey Man can you lend a poor bro a dime?" Mamba ignores him and proceeds on, but the bum is persistent with his begging. Mamba passes an alley and the homeless man follows. He suddenly grabs Mamba's hair and demands, "Give Me Some Money or I'll Cut your Guts out!" Mamba turns and looks at the man with cold dark and souless eyes. Rapidly and Repeating Mamba strikes and bites the poor mans jugular vein. Blood spurting out, like a geyser as he twitches and gasps! The man falls in the alley way, on the cold blood soaked pavement. Mamba jaws extend as he envelopes the mans head with his mouth and clamps down on his neck. The man's torso is severed from the head. Mamba moves quickly into the alley to find a private place, in order to digest the delicious treat. While the mans grungy torso is being devoured by a pack of six hungry wild street dogs......... The dogs run with pieces of human flesh hanging from their jaws.... only to die a few blocks away. It appears the venom injected into the bums body didn't agree with the poor dogs.

Days and weeks pass by.........

Headlines from the Seattle Times Newspaper read: "Man Aboard Cargo Ship Dies From Black Mamba Venom!" People are afraid one lurks in a Seattle- Ballard suburb. Dogs and cats are missing and more then usual child disappearances. Black Mamba mingles with the public. A gypsy woman once described him as a "Death Incarnate". He could be under your house or mine waiting to relieve his hunger pains. Waiting for the unsuspected..................................

I probably should have listed this one with an (R) rating.

Love the action in this one. You must share my fear of snakes mountainstar. lol

It almost seems like it could be a made for television movie maybe. I like the details you add.

Very nice.

Thanks elaine. There's one snake here called the Mohave Green Rattlesnake. It's the most dangerous in these parts. If you get bit by this bad boy your lungs will shut down. It's always good to hike with a partner who knows CPR. Luckily I've only had one encounter with one, at a distance. I admire snakes for what they are, but I wouldn't keep any for a pet. We also have the common sidewinders, rattlers, and bull/gopher snakes. Roadrunners kill and eat them keeping the populations down.

great story, could also fit into an action or crypto genre story. I could picture the story as I read it..which means you're descriptive skills are good
