Mamba A snake that wraps its slimy body around your good intentions. It has a bite that transmits itself into the other person. How to ward off it’s terrible grip? Best to stand still heart - bite your lip. Best not to move or show when you're in its grasp, though your eyes are green and all around... and it's eating up your heart!
