"BRANCH?!!" I look over at him and see a lifeless body laying on the ground.

"No no no no no no no!!!!" It started all coming back to me...
"The snake!! Oh my gosh! How could I forget!" I yell at myself..

I look around trying to find something to help him.

"Please still be breathing." I pray as I go over to him and lay my head on his chest feeling for a heartbeat...

Beat...beat....beat.............___.......

"No....." I whisper...as a tear manages to escape my eye...

"He's.... He's.. He's de-d-dead......" I let myself start bawling into tears...

Oh...Branch....... W-why...d-did ..u ha-have t-to die....
