Its enough to try to push the feeling of the exams out of your head. But it comes back every so often to haunt you, the feeling of it being at the back of your head but when you least expect it, it meaders its way out, fighting to be shown under the acres of crocheted problems, just like a snake. It tightens itself around your neck and you choke under the pressure. You hear the snake's breath breathing in your ear, dense, heavy, fog-like. 'go on...play....heck the hmk, the studies....' it hisses.
Even though it does not obstruct your eyes, you see and hear nothing, only the soft hissing of the snake as it entwines itself around your neck. the air is dense with the snake's breath and each gasp of air is a fighting spider snagging its way up your throat. With each hissing breath, the air fogs up and you find yourself becoming sleepy, charmed by the snake. At the back of you mind, you realise that this snake is going to kill you, overpower you with its mental strength and the thought forces you to pull away, from the air, from the snake, from yourself. And then you are free again, running wild, leaving behind the problems and freeing yourself from the snake that had held you down for so long.
