4 - Spiders at midnight

Sunday, 25th of October 2015

Dear Wattpad,
Hello lovelies!

So, it is currently 11:50pm right now and it is ten minutes until Monday, which means school...
But lucky me, I'm having the day off. Yay!

I never meant to stay up this late (sort of), but I'll tell you what happened 15 minutes ago.

A Spider.
A huge flipping huntsman spider .
And my mum screaming.

About over a half an hour ago, 11:18pm, I'm casually on my phone scrolling through the Rhett and Link section on Ao3 (don't judge), when I hear my mum finally leave the office room. She opens the door and I hear her step out, only for her to shriek so loud that I even screamed too. My step dad came running down the hallway asked her what's wrong, my 2 and a half year old sister starts crying because she was awoken, and my step dad also starts freaking out.

Turns out there was a problem
And that problem was 15 centimetres (6 inches) big.

A humongous Huntsman spider was on the wall.

My mum screams spider over and over again and my stepdad is like 'Holy Jesus Christ, okay, okay, that spider is massive'.
I also start panicking and ask them questions as I listen to my step dad race around the house to find an item big enough to hit it. He decides to use a thong (flip-flop).
My mum takes my sister into their bedroom and my step dad starts whacking at the wall like a maniac. All you can hear is the shoe slapping the wall as I race down the hall to my parents bedroom. I sit with my sister, rub her back soothingly as she watches Timmy Time on her IPad. My mum goes out and it turns out my stepdad had missed the spider entirely and it ran behind some furniture.
The race was on.
My mum quickly runs down to Seven Eleven and buys some bug spray (we had ran out). My step dad stays at home, staring at the happy spider camping behind a large box in the office room. That was until he goes Ape on the thing and starts attacking it again. He manages to get it eventually and cheers himself as mum comes home.
My mum puts my sister back to bed and I freak out as my step dad proceeds to touch the friggen thing to check if it was dead.
Nope. Nope. Nopity. Nope. Nope. Nope.
Get me a one way Nope ticket to 'f*ck that' Ville.

I walk past the adults to my room, not daring to look at the dead spider, and call out.

"Welcome to Australia, the land of Spiders"

So now I'm here, lying in bed. I'm supposed to be asleep but I decided to write this from my phone to y'all. It is not officially Monday, 12:13am, and I think I should sleep.

And now there are screaming, fighting cats outside my window (in front of my house). This is going to be a fun night if no sleep, what so ever.

Please tell me any of your experiences with the horrid eight legged monsters, and I will hopefully keep this book up to date.

Have a great night!
Toodles,
Hindi.
