These human kids were having their fun throwing their stupid stones at me, using me for target practice, or just because they enjoyed seeing me struggle to get away.

I was hissing loudly, trying to protect my head (which was my most vulnerable spot) but I had started to feel weaker. If only they could leave me be! These people were rude and scary, I wanted to slithe away before I got seriously wounded. I already had some bruises here and there.
