But when he reaches under a rock ledge that afternoon, a western diamondback rattlesnake strikes his right forearm and he is suddenly alone, bitten, and miles from anyone. With half a canteen of water and the temperature above one hundred and five degrees Fahrenheit, he faces a walk no doctor would recommend and a venom that won't wait. The question isn't whether the desert will stop him. The question is how much of him will be left when he gets there.\r\n\r\nThis episode was created with artificial intelligence: AI-assisted script and AI-generated (synthetic) voice.","author_name":"Creators Obomedia"}
