Spiders are fake. Their webs are unicorn hair that have blown off in the breeze. When the unicorns shed, their hair is so light, thin, and strong that they collect in trees after floating on the air.

Magically congregating; becoming ornate shapes and forming webs.

Spiders are but a figment of our imagination.

What else could cause such nightmares in children.

Their legs are a myth, all eight of them. 

Their many red eyes are a myth.

Even their tiny mandibles and possibly deadly bite is a myth.

All created to keep you paranoid, of collected hair on the floor, dust bunnies, random small dark objects on the ground in the dark.

That crawling feeling on your face is just your emotions moving around.

The tickle on your leg is just the sensation of skin growth.

Spiders are fake.

Their webs are unicorn hair.

Spiders were created by those who want to keep us in line, to give us a reason to be worried. To be frightened. To be pranked.
