Snakes?

 I was walking on the path near the Clanshaw River as usual on the way to school. I spotted a snake, this wasn’t unusual, I always see snakes near the river. Somehow this snake was different it was as tiny as a worm, maybe it was even a worm. I checked, it was the smallest snake I had ever seen. It then jumped on to me and bit me near my wrist. I awoke in a hospital and they told me I had been bitten by a very rare extremely venomous snake. How could something so tiny be so powerful?
