I checked my Omega replica watch when I drove back home from work. It have been around nine O'clock, It was already dark. As I came near to the gates, I noticed that the light was still on, so Jack, my roommate was awake anyway--- unless he had fallen asleep while reading. I went up the steps, and then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack's room. He was in bed awake but he didn't even turn towards me. “What's up, Jack?” I said. “For God's sake, don't make a noise,” he said. The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself a serious injury. “Take your shoes and Omega off, Neville,” Jack said. I thought that he must be ill and that I had better humor him to keep him happy. So I took my shoes and replica watch off. “There's a snake here” he explained, “It's asleep between the sheets. I was lying on my back reading when I saw it. I couldn't have moved even if I'd wanted to.” I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home.” Jack went on. I looked at him as encouragingly as I could and went out to telephone the doctor.
