The Rattlesnake

Placeholder. A stub for a personal anecdote. This is the register .com exists for — a story that isn’t a lesson, isn’t an offering, just a thing that happened.

There was a rattlesnake. That’s the whole hook, and it’s enough.

The point of a note like this isn’t the moral. It’s that a person’s home on the web should have room for the un-monetizable — the story you tell because it was vivid, not because it teaches the reader to do anything.

Real telling to come. For now: there was a rattlesnake, and everyone was fine, and I still think about it.
