The Spider's Lullaby

Spiral

There's another spider on his wall...!

Got to kill it!

Soon to be another creamy spot...!

Renato lay on his bed... trying to ignore the purring sound... He was terrified... Was he losing his mind? No, it is not possible... everything seemed to be absolutely real... He tried to shut his eyes... but whenever he tried to do so, he could see the most horrendous replica of the red spider. The sound was growing intense by the second. His head couldn't take it anymore and he called out for Juliana, "Can you hear it?"

Juliana in her half-asleep condition spoke, "Hear what?"

He replied, "The sound... made by them..."

Juliana was now clearly irritated, she said, "Made by whom?"

Renato didn't reply... He got out of his bed and went to the living room. Juliana lay on the bed, now kind of terrified.

- "AGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH...!"

It was Renato's scream!

Juliana rushed to the living room and saw Renato was laying on the carpet, blacked out. Juliana was so tensed now... She tried to locate any intruders in the house but she couldn't find anything. She turned on the lights and with great attempts dragged Renato to the bed... She noticed a spider web was entangled on Renato's leg... she cleared it and made him lay on his bed.

Juliana didn't sleep for the rest of the night. It was 4:30 A.M. and she was worried, she decided she would call Dr. Eastman tomorrow.

The next morning, Renato woke up at 10.

"What happened yesterday?", asked Juliana as he saw Renato awake.

He kept quiet.

"Darling, you know you can tell me anything right?", said Juliana.

Renato replied in a low voice, "They are everywhere... spiders... they want to kill me... last night one even tried to cover me in webs like they did to the other guy."

Juliana, now clearly distraught said, "What other guy?"

Renato just nodded his head and said very calmly, "The one in the forest."
