Spider much concerned by midnight bites I toss out of bed, slip on shoes, explore my arms and legs. Most surfaces seem pale, but red blotches itch, cream steroids smoothed on. Lights flicked angrily bright, sheets yanked to floor, black spider emerges. As big as my hand, it struts, jaws wide. Stopped, I grab long white sword and pierce the black inkiness thrusting deeply. Corpse with eight legs wriggles deadly, venom dripping, my agonizing scream breaking the ozone.
