A battle for life

Its around 8 pm yesterday.As I was submerged into the deep web 1.0 ocean, suddenly my sis entered my room with urge to say

"bro snake inside our house".

My dad who was lying down was running before me when i started out of my room.I went outside and saw our dog sniping at the drench near the stairs.She saw a serpant crossing the lobby.

Now Mr. x i.e snake had two options, firstly it should stay inside that hole of mice or it should take the safe underground route to escape from our house.

But later choice was not acknowledged by that little pathetic creature though it should have escaped from the vicious hands of humans (us) at least for then.

Usually Mr.x is allergic to smoke, so we (dad and myself) started firing some green leaves with sticks (green leaves bring more smoke basically) with an intension to bring it out if it was staying , After 5 minutes I concluded that it should have taken the second option and escaped out,I should confess why i end up with an conclusion with in 5 minutes? because i was seriously chatting(quibbling) with two of my friends online.But my dad who knows more about Mr.x's behavior by experience, waited out there for 20 minutes.

Another call from my sis saying that

"dad is calling"

raised me, he pointing a pile of bricks said that Mr.x had gone into it, according to him Mr.x was around 4 feet long with 5 cm dia, but i didn't saw him so out of curiosity I went near the bricks and saw only the tail which was some what brownish glittering in dim street light.

Again I made a wrong guess that it is a sorry i don't get its name in English right now, also i planned to kill it.

Small justification feel will do here as I feel so

"I don't disturb any living thing until it disturbs me any living thing which i care or which is under my cover(its my dad's policy inherited basically)".

Mr.x though a snake if it was found outside of my house i should have let it go or else if it was small enough, I would have got that live and left it away,but Mr.x is big and it can remember and return to our house if let go,this really a great threat not only to us but to the two smart guys guarding our home .

I don't feel good about writing how we killed that small helpless creature, because i regret it personally. There was no place for braveness here as I was not encouraging killing animals,but still this should be done and was done so .

This entire mess ended at 9.30 pm approximately.We went to sleep by late 10.Not a good ending for that small pathetic guy,he should have taken that second option though.
