Today’s task was to talk of fears, in a style distinct from my own. So in taking a break from my seemingly endless sentences I have crammed ten full stops into just fifty three words…
Arachnophobe.
My blood had chilled. It was flowing around my body in an icy haze. He was taunting me. I was petrified.
He could read every sign. Of course he could. You don’t miss much with eight eyes.
I was minding my own business. He invaded my peripheral. Now we were at a standoff.

Nice. One of my great fears too.

This is why I have always loved cats! When I was little I used to pick mine up and point it at any spiders so he gobbled them up and I didn’t have to get rid of them.

Ooh no I couldn’t do that. Knowing my luck if I kept just one small one it’d lay eggs and then there would be big trouble…

LOL! I’ve had that happen in the cellar. My wife went down to do laundry and came running up screaming. They had hatched and covered half the ceiling with webs overnight. 😀

Haha sorry! But it’s quite naughsty to squish them. I’d prefer to capture and release outside.

It is, you’re right, and I’m such an animal lover that it does make me feel awful to hurt something, but I’m not comfortable if there’s one around until I know it’s definitely gone. I don’t see them much being in London anyway, which I guess is as good for the spiders as it is for me!

We have a ton of spiders here and I’ve seen some preeetty big spiders around that compliment some preeeetty big mosquitoes. These I have no problem smashing.

Ooh yes mosquitoes are not friendly at all. I have never been bitten by a spider (touch wood), but I have been chomped on by plenty of mosquitoes and would happily never encounter one for the rest of my days.

I live near a swamp so I can’t hope for that. Spider bite sounds pretty disturbing though.

Wow. I have never seen a three-word sentence from you. How far out of your comfort zone has this frugal wordspider pulled you?

It demolished my comfort zone with its horridly heinous hairy legs with their spindly ends just tap tap tapping on the floor. Grim.
