There has been a spider the whole time

[Mirah]

I knew it
I knew it
that night I had a dream
it wasn't a dream
it was there
in black and white




it crawled across my covers
and
I
lay
frozen
unable to move
must have the correct mechanism
with witch
to kill
spider
must
kill it properly
so it
doesn't come back to life
and haunt me
must make sure
I catch it
and it doesn't run away
must use disposable objects so as not to have spider guts or remnants on any thing of my being

I grab a tissue and I push it down
then
look down at the medicine box
I will throw it away anyway
I smoosh it
but I lift the tissue
and here is
this thing
running around in a circle
on my bed!
I smoosh it again
feel so guilty
how can I pick it up
with said tissue
even though I will throw the tissue away anyways
I must now hold the supposed dead spider
in my hands
seperated
only by
thin
cloth
what if it comes back alive?
grab the box
perhaps I can put it in there!
nonsense!
Be a big girl and grab the tissue
and place the spider in the trash
along with the box
that you will now not recycle
I am sure the garbage man will understand

I quickly dispose of the evidence in the tiny garbage can designated for my room and I quickly grab said garbage and whisk it off to the main garbage of the house. Did I mention the putting on of slippers? Slippers will now protect me from any more spiders lurking around.
I dispose of the spider
and then
retreat back to my room.
Disgusted
that such a creature could have been in there
where did it come from?
Where was it hiding?
How long had it been there?
I put on socks to protect my feet.
As if I care if a spider crawls across my toes.
What about my face?
My head?
My ears?
My eyes?
Was that dream I had the other night really not a dream?
Did that hair falling down my neck really represent a spider that survived through the night?

I changed my pillow cases the night before. I know they are fresh, there can not be any spiders hiding in them!
It does not make sense to change them now.
But now
my room
is off limits
I must now
sleep in the living room.
This makes complete
and logical sense.
Absolutely!

And now
my mind wonders
If I shall apologize
to those
that would save the spider
there are those
escort the spider outside.
There was not time.
No suitable container.
Perhaps this was the best way.
There was that time
2 times in fact
where I did not kill the bee
inside my car
thinking
it was dead
anyway
when
on a warm
summer day
the bees awoke
and stung me!

I cannot lay comfortably on my bed once again. I cannot.

I only kill spiders when they get on me. I tell them SPIDER I will share this house with you, but you have to stay away from me. Sometimes they don't listen.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I've never found spiders scary. JUST EVERYTHING ELSE.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I just find most of them icky, and the sight of a web tells me "you haven't cleaned that area in a while have you."

 

[Mirah]

You are brave CaptainWackyi!

What is funny is I have a small spider in the corner of my bathroom that I leave alone. It doesn't bother me. But spider on my bed is very bothersome!

I took a shower last night after,
and I changed my bed sheets
and put the head of the bed at the feet of the bed-because somehow I think I felt safer not being taken over by a spider crawling on the wall or something.

I sat up in bed for a while, and then was finally able to fall asleep.

 

[Cassie]

this is how I imagine you fighting the spider

 

[Cassie]

Tastefully Offensive on Tumblr, Be careful with your kindness. [x]

 

[Mirah]

Sweet.
Those are so helpful.
: )
LOL

 

[Seph]

I never kill them, always capture and release.

 

[CaptainWacky]

They're more scared of you than you are of them.

Or is that bears.

 

[Seph]

No, just CareBears.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Someone needs to bring back CareBears and market them to perverts who want to fuck them. It would make a billion dollars.
