The snake sees all. The snake knows all. The snake controls all.

Depression was upon Jason before he understood the meaning of the condition. The college student stoat spends the majority of his time working and riding at the stables, set on the edge of a considerable stretch of forestry: his only escape from the drudge of reality. Fuelled by his love of horses and his admiration for a lady friend, he is desperate to open up, uncover that help and understanding that is so sorely needed. But how will she react? Was the snake right all along?
