Oh, it's all good. I haven't even started on a revision yet, to be honest. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to run with the story. I've come up with a couple of new ideas, the one that I'm really attracted to is starting it off with someone going to a hospital to visit Steve Grenwalt (whose condition is rocky and looks like he might not survive). I was thinking of having Steve Grenwalt tell his visitor what happened, which is how the story is relayed to us. I've been stuck on deciding whether his visitor is a friend or a government agent who is concerned about details regarding the snake. If I run with it of course.

That's good (and bad) to know. I could definitely set the story in Australia or have the red-bellied black snake imported.

I'm glad you like it like that, I was worried it would show that I'm not too familiar with snakes (I've done a bit of research since then, but I've still got a very limited set of knowledge regarding them).

If I decide to go the government angle as mentioned above, maybe I could imply that the "snake" was something created by man and not nature. Maybe the government or the man who sold the computer could have created it? I'm trying to decide how to roll with it. What's your opinion on the matter?
