fox lake
once upon a time there once was a legend of fox lake. about a snake so big it can swallow 5 suv an live throw it, so long that it can’t be seen by a power of camfloge. a snake not just one but a mother of 10billion eggs. is this legend true? no one knowes.
the once who escape from it never spokin bout it, was so horrifing. a snake 990feet long and 980feet wide.
now on this day when a young girls parents went to fox lake an never returned she sets out to fine the snake and her parents the worst she think is that the snake ate them. and she said if so she will cut the snakes head of and beat it to theres nothing left, only cause she doesn’t care about money.
can recco find her parents before the snake eats them? can she find if the legend is true or fake?
she wonders will she do it alone? or will her friends go along with her?
