Waiting in the house
Brooke and her mother both ran into the house and closed the door behind them. Brooke was looking down at her small bite wound and her mother was scanning the grass outside for the snake. They were too afraid to go back outside, so they sat there for a moment and thought about what to do.
Brooke needed to go to a hospital as soon as possible so that she could get some antivenom and be okay. Rattlesnakes are poisonous, but they were common in that area and they weren’t known for being incredibly deadly. But that didn’t mean that they had all the time in the world.
