Foot Licking Good - A Collaborative Element Story by Vago Damitio(Collaborative element stories are stories I write based on elements provided by Google+ users - to participate - just watch for my next request for elements) “Rat-a-tat -tat would love to know what you are looking at?” In fact it was hard not to look but the truth is I wasn't looking at the large stuffed rattlesnake with diamond eyes.
