A Routine Morning Turns Strange

The day began like any other, with quiet thoughts and a routine bathroom trip. Half asleep and thinking about breakfast, I expected nothing unusual.

But calm vanished instantly. When I lifted the toilet lid, something unexpected rested in the bowl.

Frozen in Confusion

I froze. My mind struggled to process the dark shape beneath the water. For a moment, time seemed to slow. The water appeared still — except for a faint, deliberate movement. Something alive stirred below the surface.

Realization Hits

As I looked closer, the motion grew unmistakable. Ripples spread slowly, deliberately. I realized it wasn’t a stray object or a trick of the light. This was living and active.

Then, a flash of color and texture caught my eye: smooth, dark scales glistened in the bathroom light. That single detail confirmed it. Something was in my toilet — an animal.

Shock and Disbelief

Disbelief washed over me. A wild creature in such a private, ordinary space felt surreal. What began as a normal morning transformed into a tense, unforgettable encounter.

In that instant, my sense of safety dissolved. The calm of morning disappeared, replaced by a jolt of realization: a snake had slithered into the toilet, turning a routine start to the day into an extraordinary experience.
