ReplyDeleteIt took reading it one and half times through to realize that the spider was missing SOME legs and not ALL his legs. I was really confused as to how it clinging to the ceiling with just his body. Also, I am concerned as to how his legs might have gotten INTO YOU. But thankfully, since they weren't under your pillow, that solved everything. =)
ReplyDeleteEpic battle. Well put.
