and why the circle of life is unending

Anna-Marie never killed the spiders in her home.

She just whispered, “Today you, tomorrow me” as she set them outside.

The tomorrow has finally come. Not realizing anyone was home, three large men have broken into her home. They were simply looking for a home to rob and really didn’t intend to hurt anyone. But since they found her, they decided to have some fun before getting rid of the only witness.

She refused to go down without a fight. She knew her home well; where the knives, makeshift weapons and hiding places were. Unfortunately, they not only outnumbered her but were larger and taller and unafraid to use that to their advantage.

But just as she thought it was over, bleeding and right leg unable to hold her up, there was a loud rustle in the next room.

“What’s that? A dog?”

“I don’t have a dog.

“Liar! What else is that?”

“No clue. But it’s not a dog.”

Just then, the door opened, revealing a huge hoard of black spiders.

One man shrieked, “Spiders! I’m terrified of spiders!”

“Straighten up! They’re just spiders!”

She realized what they were, they were every spider she’d ever saved and put back outside.

They descended upon the three men. The one that was terrified of spiders screamed once more and ran out the door, spiders still crawling all over. The leader started swatting at them, refusing to be intimidated by a few spiders.

The spiders, naturally, weren’t pleased with his actions. They started biting everywhere they could reach, and he changed his mind about swatting. Instead, he followed the first man, not realizing he wouldn’t make it very far as some of the spiders were venomous and the poison from their bites would drop him in his tracks.

The second man froze, not wanting to be bitten and not quite brave enough to run or flick them off. As such, when the police finally arrived, he was still standing there, now completely covered.

“Please, get them off me!”

The spiders easily crawled off when she asked them to leave him so the police could arrest him.

They gathered behind her, making the police leery about getting too close to her. She wanted to file her statement, have him arrested and have everyone leave. After what she’d just been through, she wanted them gone. She allowed the EMTs on the ambulance to patch her up, then she ordered them to all leave. One officer offered to stay behind in case one of the two that had escaped returned. She told him no, she was fine, and her spider friends would provide protection if necessary.
