Perhaps there was a little lizard in the lot that was different from the others. It had a unique pattern on its skin. The other lizards were initially suspicious but then they realized that this lizard was just as friendly as them. They all learned to accept each other's differences and lived happily in the lot.
In a little lot, there were some lizards. One of them was very small and got lost from the group. It was scared at first. But then it followed the sound of water and found a little puddle in the lot. There it found some other small creatures and made new friends. Eventually, it found its way back to its lizard family.
I'm not sure specifically as I haven't read it in detail. But generally, it might be about some terrifying experiences related to a lizard's tail, perhaps something supernatural or grotesque involving it.
Since I don't know the exact content of the 'Killing Lizards' short story, it's hard to say precisely. However, generally in short stories, if it's about killing lizards, it could be a story of conflict. The lizards might be seen as the enemy by the protagonist. Maybe the lizards are carriers of disease or are destroying something valuable. It could also be about the moral implications of killing these small creatures. Does the character feel guilty? Or is it a matter - of - fact situation in a harsh environment where survival means getting rid of these lizards?
There could be a family that moves into a new house which has some connection to the lizard's tail horror. The parents and their children could be the main characters. The children might be the first ones to notice something strange about the lizard's tail, and the parents have to protect them from whatever danger it brings. Maybe there is also a neighbor who has some knowledge about the history of the area and the lizard's tail, and they get involved in the story to help the family.
Some movies portray them as intelligent creatures. They might be able to strategize and communicate in their own ways. Like in certain B - movies, the monster lizards form packs and hunt in an organized manner, which makes them even more terrifying for the human characters.
I have no idea who the main characters are in the 'Killing Lizards' short story as I haven't read it. They could be ordinary people living in a rural or suburban area where lizards are common. Maybe it's a family member who takes on the task of killing lizards, like a father or an older brother.
I'm sorry, I haven't actually watched the 'Snakes and Lizards' telenovela, so I can't provide the full story. You could try looking for it on official streaming platforms or telenovela - related websites.
Yoshimoto Banana's works often explore themes like love, family, and personal growth. While lizards might seem an unusual element in her stories, if there is such a story, it could potentially use the lizard as a symbol. For example, like how some authors use animals to represent certain human qualities or emotions. But again, without more research, it's hard to name the best story related to lizards in her body of work.
