Eight Legged Freaks



Steathily crawling from here to there making a sticky trap. While my dad is doing his rap. You sneak out but don’t know the fear. When you’re close to arriving where you were headed, you scream and burst into tears. Towering above the ground, and all around are giant eight legged freaks. You run because they’re spiders and they haves different types  of streaks. You run and because they’re big, bigger then thirty stacked figs.
They chase you around, until you’ve found the bodies of webbed people all over the ground. Then there’s a sound and you look around. To find only the queen feasting on the bodies. You don’t move because there are other oddities.Your frozen in horror, and fright. You’ll always remember that horrid night. When you saw the queen eat your father. But you have a flashback to when your dad cheered you on when you ran twenty-seven miles farther. You tried to scream but ran instead. To only find a decapitated head. You left that town, and now you’ve found a new peaceful town. Your at home in peace for a full six weeks. But your peace won’t last for long, because here come the eight legged freaks.
