The Spider's Curse

Prologue

A spider lives inside my head

Who weaves a strange and wondrous web

Of silken threads and silver strings

To catch all sorts of flying things

Like crumbs of thoughts and bits of smiles

And specks of dried-up tears

And dust of dreams that catch and cling

For years and years and years...

-Shel Silverstein

Spiders...

Aren't they quite fascinating?

They could be many things beyond a person's imagination...even creatures so tiny could hold greater purpose to every living being..

Some say... spiders weaves webs because of reason, their sole purpose from the very moment they stepped into the earth is to make the world a better place, to be as perfect as what they envisioned...or so we thought it was..

Others would say spiders are beautiful...

Creative...

Graceful...

Delicate.....

And Mysterious..

But behind those splendor strands of detailed webs, the eyes of a living being could be easily decieved from their creation, beneath those perfections lies the reality, their true from..their one thing in common...

Vile...

Vicious..

Deceiving..

Poisonous...

And most of all, Dangerous...

Once you've fell into its perfect world

it will do what ever it takes..

to make you theirs..

Until they would devour your every being..

And your soul....

That is what she believed in, as fate decided her to enter that world, a door hidden behind the walls as faint whispers telling to come closer, leads to a place where all dreams would come true, it was different and somehow perfect, too perfect.

From that place, she finally had the attention and affection from her "other" parents that she wanted for years, her broken wishes could turn into a reality with just one word, it somehow felt surreal...

And when she new the darkest truth about it, that it was all just an illusion created by a witch to please her, she became the pawn being controlled, observed and deceived...

She loathed it

It was never even made out of love, it was made out of hunger, desperate to consume a living being in order for the wicked to survive, that witch is no different from a spider.

She hated herself for the thought of staying in that place for a lifetime, how she was been easily pleased by that witch and almost falling into her trap

But what she hated the most is how she almost easily accepted the witch's offer to stay with them, to be with her new and perfect family, it feels as if....

She wanted to exchange her real parents for her other ones..
