The Spider in the Corner

A young woman, alone in a foreign country, finds an unexpected companion in a tiny spider living in the corner of her dorm room. At first terrified, she lets it stay, and over time, the creature becomes a silent witness to her loneliness, her memories, and the home she left behind. She speaks to it in moments of solitude, as if it carries the threads of her past. One morning, the spider is gone. She waits, but it never returns. In its absence, she realizes-like the past-it was never meant to stay.
