Down At the Bottom of a Hole, Snakebitten

If you thought maybe I was re-reading True Grit by Charles Portis, you'd be wrong.

LEAGUE CITY — Rescuers on Monday pulled a snakebit man from a 30-foot-deep manhole in a secluded and heavily wooded thicket near his house.

Kevin Gonterman, 25, of League City was snakebit and incoherent, but found alive and rushed to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, police and a member of Texas Equusearch said.


Click the link to read the rest. Could be worse, though. I remember once I posted an entry about a Spaniard who fell down into a well in rural Spain, and ended up blowing his head off with a shotgun (which fell down the hole with him) rather than die of thirst and starvation. I'll see if I can find that one.
