Snakeles
The other night I made up that I dreamt that there existed a race of snake people. They were called, naturally, snakeles [from the Latin snake (“elongated reptile”) + people (“featherless biped”); pronounced “snake-uhls”].
By some weird dream logic I cannot cipher, the existence of these horrifying chimeras necessitated the remaking of several major landmarks of popular cinema, including M. Night Shyamalam’s The Sixth Sense. In The Sixth Sense: Remake Edition, the creepy kid’s catchphrase is “I see dead snakeles.”
