We’re in our basement right now watching movies because it’s cooler down here, and I go behind the bar in one corner of the room to refill my glass of water at the small sink. I didn’t bother to turn on the light back there because I didn’t expect to be battling a creature of the night in the shadows!
But there it was: a spider, crawling on the wall right above the sink. I hurriedly filled my glass of water, but I couldn’t have peace of mind if I just left the spider there, knowing it could work its way across the room at some point and into one of my orifices if I dared to fall asleep.
So I stood waiting for the spider to approach the sink–the direction in which it was heading. It got closer, closer, finally reached the lip of the sink, then worked its way into the sink.
I quickly dumped my glass of water over the side wall of the sink to send that sucker down the drain!
Instead, what do I frickin’ see in the shadows??? The water SWOOPS down one wall, across the base of the sink, and up the other wall! And there goes the spider, surf boarding off into the darkness as I jumped back in terror!
Now there’s no telling WHERE the creepy crawly is. And you KNOW that spider has every intention of enacting its revenge on me. The hairs on the back of my neck are sticking up right now–I can FEEL it watching me…
