The One With the Anaconda Attack

Date: 9/21/2024

I’m at a party at the Pizzis’ house (it’s not actually their house) when we all look outside a window in the front and see three baby deer playing in front of a pond. The sunlight is hitting them in a way that makes everything look almost too perfect — practically sparkling. Suddenly, we notice something moving in the water. I start to shout as I think it’s an alligator, but am even more shocked to see a massive anaconda emerge and go after Tucker, the Pizzis’ old dog (it actually looks like Goose, their current dog) who’s run over to the deer. I run to the door and struggle with the knob as I try to go out to save him. I turn to Zach and yell, “Help me!” The two of us end up outside, but the snake has already disappeared with Tucker under the water. I immediately burst into tears and look over to see that Zach is also crying. At some point, Tucker resurfaces, looking injured but alive. I quickly drag him out of the water, terrified that the snake will get me next. We go back in the house where Mikey is pointing at random baby pictures of himself on the wall and making jokes. At some point, my mom tells me that he was arrested for heroin possession.
