STACH Short Story Contest #28: My Entry

Here is my entry for the STACH writing contest with theme: TALES FROM BEYOND. Details of the contest on this link.

Grandma, is it true? Snakes can grow bigger than the houses and the trees? Yes, they can even pretend to be a cave when the mouths are open or be something else when they become too old to move around. Roots can grow on them and make them look like a part of the forest. Tina's grandma replied while making her eyes wide then smiled, looking at her granddaughter's eyes. Then tried to make a hiss sound while saying, "they will left their mouths open for hours and wait for a prey". So never go to the forest alone sweetie. Tina just nod and smiled back.

Sounded scary but, Tina loves those kind of stories from beyond, out of ordinary. Those will not give her bad dreams but more room for imaginative dreams. Although her grandmother cannot tell her stories anymore, she will always be reminded of those memories and stories that made her childhood special.
