“Look at that spider!”

“Christ it’s big.”

“I’ve never seen one that size in this country before.”

“Quick! Get it before it goes under the bed!”

“Shit, too late.”

“Oh my God, that was only the male, you should see the size of the female….”

“She’s under the bed too.”

The female emerges looking strangely like an angry shopping trolley…with big sharp fangs. Luckily I have steel tongs that are bigger than her mandibles, they lock around her, keeping her hissing venomous form safely away from mine.

I cut her a deal, If she and her mate go away, to the single bed in the middle of the nearby woods, no one will ever bother them again. The bargain is struck.

Later, a teenage boy and his girlfriend are seen sneaking into the woods to make-out and smoke crafty cigarettes. There is a sense of dread, my sight flashes and panics its way to a gruesome scene; the girlfriend has been eaten and her boyfriend has fused with the female spider now slowly disappearing under the mattress of a dirty, damp, decaying bed.
