simultaneous: happened at the same time

over the chair and sat on his shoulders. The timing of the doctor’s
turning around and the snake’s landing on his shoulder was same.
I didn‘t jump. I didn‘t tremble. I didn‘t cry out. There was no time to
do any such thing.
He did not panic, jump or tremble, he did not shiver he did not
scream. It happened so fast, so instantly that he did not have any
time to react.
