“He’s tall and imposing and has absolutely no expression on his face. His buzz-cut and steely blue eyes give me the creeps.
“I’m the herpetologist you sent for,” I say, my voice breathless from anxiety. “The snake typhoon…”
He interrupts me, “That’d be Bluey you’re after then.”

“You could say that. Covered in love bumps. But he ain’t the first and won’t be the last.MoreLess
