Halloween writing prompt

Arachnid

I have a friend that is named Andy. He is an unusual friend for his hobbies and activities are more different than everyone else. His favorite food to eat is grasshoppers and most of the time he likes to knit things of silk. What he knits is very impressive and seen by many people every day. His family is huge since he has like 100 siblings and he doesn't even know half their names! He spent most of his childhood by himself except for some time in his early years where he was with his mom but he never saw or knew his dad. Most people from where he lived to say the same thing that they haven't seen their dad either. 

My friend Andy is a spider. To be more specific a black widow spider. Yes, it's weird to befriend a spider and one that could kill you too. 

How I met him was that one day I was walking home from school and it had been raining that day and Andy was stuck on a stick holding onto a piece of his silk web while almost going into a storm drain. Until I picked up the stick and placed it on the sidewalk. I sat there for a few moments to see what Andy would do he started making something on his web that seem to spell out 'thank you' I nodded my head and kept walking. I don't know how or when but when I got home and put my bag down Andy was on my bag. I was shocked at first but then was intrigued as to why and how he got on my bag, so for the first few days, I kept him. I got a fish tank that was small and put him inside. Every day I would try to bring him something to eat until eventually he got out and ate the bugs that were in our house. He also kept other spiders out of the house too. My parents hated it at first and still hate it thinking that he will one day kill us all but I don't think he will.

And that's how I became friends with a spider.
