What people don't know about fainting is that it generally doesn't last long unless the person hits their head hard. The movement over his body roused Colin.
For a moment, he didn't know what was going on. He was pretty sure he'd had a nightmare. Then he realized there was something wrapped around him. He looked down and saw bright orange serpentine scales. Mute with horror, he followed the length of the tail and saw...
At least he screamed less like a girl that time. His blue eyes went wide and well, wet himself. He'd be embarrassed about it if he survived this.

Colin started struggling in vain, shouting and beating at the huge snake-thing and generally in full on panic. This just could not be happening.
