Constrictor (Unabridged‪)‬

The reticulated python is the largest and most dangerous of the giant constrictors – documented to swallow humans whole.


But people still keep them as exotic pets.


Frank has raised Buffy from a hatchling. She measures over twenty-four-feet and more than three-hundred pounds. She is Frank's pride-and-joy.


She is also his secret – a black-market purchase, kept illegally – unbeknownst to his neighbors, who might fear for their pets... or their kids.


Especially, if they knew Buffy sometimes escapes her cage.


A python wraps in less than a second – its coils kill in seven minutes.


Then it swallows you whole.


And you never see it coming until it's too late.
