The Man and the Snake
Harkon Brayton visits a colleague in San Francisco that specializes in the study of reptiles. In particular the study of snakes. Brayton becomes aware of the myths and stories surrounding snakes such as the power they have to place men in a trance like state. He is skeptical of the stories but finds them interesting. Brayton spends the night at the home of Dr Druring. He retires to his room only to discover a snake under his bed. The snake has glowing eyes and Brayton immediately goes into a trance. He finds himself in an imaginary world and shouts that the snake eyes that he sees are the eyes of his dead mother. Brayton soon wakes up and recovers only to find himself on the floor. As he looks up he sees the same snake under his bed with glowing eyes. Brayton starts to go into a seizure and dies of a heart attack.. The doctor and his wife rush into his room only to see Braytons body on the floor. They also see the snake under the bed. Dr Druring snatches the snake and throws it aside. It turned out that the snake under the bed was only a stuffed toy with button eyes.
