"Re-Coiled", Way to Die #47, is the second death to be featured in "The Good, The Bad, and the Dead", which aired on March 8, 2009.

Plot[]

Jake is a hunter who walks around his forest. Jake then has to go to the bathroom unaware he has a rifle. He puts down his rifle with the barrel facing upwards but fails to notice a snake curling around his trigger. When he finishes, he goes to pick up his rifle but when he picks it up, (with the barrel being aimed at his heart), the snake squeezes the trigger causing the gun to fire at his heart, killing him instantly.

"While draining the snake in his hand, Jake failed to see the one in the bush..."

Transcript[]

(Industrial Dead is playing, some crow caws)

Narrator: Jake believed that any day now, humanity would be wiped out in some cataclysmic event. He was determined to survive come hell or high water. Living off the grid, alone and isolated, Jake spent every waking hour in the state of paranoia. He patrolled his land for any intruder who might threaten his space.

(Vudu Dead is playing, Jake drops his sniper, take a piss on the grass)

Narrator: It was a job that required constant vigilance.

(The snake gets close to Jake)

Narrator: While draining the snake in his hand, Jake failed to see the one in the bush... Like a devil in disguise, a 6-foot speckled kingsnake... went straight for Jake's rifle.

(The kingsnake curls on the rifle)

Matthew Steinberg: Snakes a loft and find some place warm to help body at 'em. And um...the way that can digest their food, snakes don't make thrown heat inside, so they need to... get outside the heat.

(Angry Ed is playing)

Narrator: The snake wrapped itself around the budobject gun, and through the trigger loop, as Jake made sure, not to let the last drops, go down his pants. Those few extra shakes would prove faithful.

(Jake finished his break, about to pick the rifle up, but as that, the snake startles, shoots Jake)

Jake: Oh!

([] is playing, replay of the kingsnake curling Jake's gun)

Narrator: Maybe the snake got spooked by Jake and... tenched up around the trigger... Maybe the snake was sent to deliver a message. But what's clear is: the snake, managed to pull the trigger, right where the gun was pointed...

(The snake shoots Jake)

-Narrator: at Jake's heart.
-Jake: Oh! Oh...

Matthew Steinberg: The snake definitely like to kinda looting in the tight spaces and it may uh... just wraps around the er... trigger of the gun...

(CGI sniper bullet hits the breastbone and heart)

Narrator: The bullet blasted a 4-inch hole on Jake's breastbone. Piercing his heart. Death was instantaneous.

(Recap)

Narrator: In the end, Jake successfully avoided the apocalypse by permanently isolating himself from humanity.

(The snake shoots Jake)

-Jake: Oh! Oh...
-Narrator: But he never learned that if the barbarians of the gate don't get you... the snake in the grass will.
