 STRAP YOURSELF IN SUCKAS, GRAB A HEALTHY SNACK TO MAINTAIN ENERGY, MAYBE ALSO A GATORADE, AND GET COMFY BECAUSE I HAVE QUITE THE THE TALE TO TELL. ALSO, ITS LATE, IM VERY VERY SICK AND SLEEP DEPRIVED, AND AM CURRENTLY IN SHOCK. SO HANG IN THERE WITH ME FREN.

SO ITS LATE TONIGHT. CURRENTLY 11:34 PM. ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES AGO, I WAS JUST SIMPLY TEXTING MY FRENS NATALIE AND FEIFEI (AYYYYY). NOTHING WAS GOING WRONG. IT ALSO HAPPENS TO BE MY FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY TODAY, AND IVE HAD A GREAT DAY! IVE DONE NOTHING TO DESERVE THE HELL IVE BEEN HANDED JUST NOW!!!!

ANYWHO, I WAS ABOUT TO FALL ASLEEP WHEN SUDDENLY

OUT FROM UNDER MY PILLOW

A MOTHER

FREAKING

BLACK

SPIDER

AS QUICK AS SONIC HIMSELF

I IMMEDIATELY STARTED SCREECHING CUSS WORDS AND THRASHING MY PILLOW AROUND MADLY. I WILL NOT LET THIS SPIDER ESCAPE MY GRASP.

I GRAB A WAD OF TOILET PAPER (which I keep by my bed because I find that I go through tissues too quickly as I've been sick and constantly need to blow my nose) AND START SLAPPING THE WALL TRYING TO GET IT.

BUT IT ESCAPES.

DOWN IN THE CRACK BETWEEN MY BED AND THE WALL.

And, like any normal, well-functioning human being, I turn the other cheek and go sleep. 

But then I think about that urban legend about all the spiders you swallow in your sleep. 

Actually no, scratch that, not ONCE did I nearly allow myself to fall back asleep. I DIDNT EVEN LAY MY HEAD BACK DOWN ON THE BED.

I GRABBED MY BLANKET, MY STUFFED ANIMALS (yes I know I know don't even mention it) AND MY PHONE CHARGER AND HIGH TAIL IT OUT OF THERE.

SO THEN IM HIDING OUT IN THE LIVING ROOM, LAYING OUT ON THE COUCH, SNUGGLED UP WITH THE KITCHEN LIGHT AND THE TV ON (bc I'm mortified ok).

AND IM STILL TEXTING FEIFS AND NATALIE, UPDATING THEM ON THIS CATASTROPHE. WHEN SUDDENLY, A THOGHT ERRUPTS IN MY NOGGIN.

What about all the other stuffed animals I left behind?

What about the blanket my mom made me?

What if the spider was pregnant?

What if the spider lAyEd EgGs iN mY bLaNkEt

I GRAB MY FLASHLIGHT AND RUN BACK TO MY ROOM (AKA THE NEW QUARENTINE WING) AND JUST STRIP MY BED OF ALL STUFFED ANIMALS AND BLANETS, LEAVING THE PILLOWS AND SHEETS ON JUST IN CASE SPIDER BABIES (which I doubt it was a pregnant female what're the odds of that tbh).

I BROUGHT MY MOST PRIZED AND BELOVED STUFFED ANIMALS AND BLANKETS ONTO THE COUCH WITH ME FOR PROTECTION AND AM CURRENTLY WATCHING FOX NEWS.

If Mom comes into the kitchen tonight she'll be very confused.

MAYBE WILL UPDATE.
