Fucking great Corinne thought, these cramps make me feel like I’m being stabbed in the stomach repeatedly with a long dagger She looked anxiously towards the antique dresser. Earlier, a spider the size of a child’s hand had scurried underneath. It terrified her. She shivered…which sent another searing pain through her uterus.
Fuck…it stinks like Lysol in here. Corinne had just sprayed lysol under the dresser to draw the beast out so she could crush it with the runners she now wore with her pink terrycloth bathrobe. Even doing this took a great deal of courage for her.
Her initial reaction had been leaping in the air and landing on the screen of her laptop, which now showed nothing but a black spiderweb crack surrounded by square coloured lines, and fleeing from the room in 3 leaping bounds. When she realized what had happened to her screen in the living room, she had tried popping the screen back out using a suction cup…then duct tape…but it was a loss. Then she got angry… and she wanted revenge.
If it hadn’t of been for that boneheaded fucking jumping on the screen of my laptop… I’d probably be sitting in the living room until morning until I could find someone to kill it for me…she admitted to herself. Maybe someone will lend me a cat…cats like killing things…I hate killing things Another jolt of pain caused her to double over…motherfucking son of a bitch…fuck…I’ll have to call Zeus the tomorrow…like he can fix this, it’s a car wreck…fuck…it’s only 2 months old…how much is this going to set me back?
She looked towards the dresser…another cramp hit I am going to make you pay for this you 8 legged son of a bitch…
Is she pregant? i sthe spider a symbol for the child? I only ask because you said the size of a childs hand. Maybe the spider signals the impending unwanted child…unwanted, terrifying life. Maybe the cracked laptop symobolizes possibilities, potentials, aborted…and just when they were starting to take form for real. Putting a cat in the mix could give the baby toxoplasmosis and kill it, or disfigure it permanently. And Zeus, we know he can fix anything given the motivation. But at what cost?
Or maybe it’s just a cute story showing an above average talent for intriguing prose.
Oh forgort about your poll question. Maybe this is about constipation, given the question of fiber. That would be too bad. Someone as sweet as you writing about being constipated. ALthough it’s not different from being pregnant. Same shit, different hole. (I can’t believe I just said that. That’s so not me.)
I’m thinkin’ the fiber is about cramps. If so, take an Alieve (sp?). I used to get those so bad my lips would turn blue and I’d want to die… had to take prescription naproxin.
I initially thought ‘2 months pregnant’ as well… didn’t realize the computer might be 2 months old and Zeus may be a guy to fix the computer. But, if the cramps are a miscarriage… then… ‘fixing it’ is ruled out. But I think they’re just regular ol’ cramps.
I don’t particularly care for spiders. A lot of creepy facts about spiders. Used to have really bad nightmares about them.
Wouldn’t ever break my computer over a spider, though. If it was as big as a child’s hand… sounds like a tarantula… those don’t scare me at all… love those…
I didn’t see all that!! I was too distracted by the fact this character shares my name and sounds just like me. From sending in the cat, to the swearing fit brought on by that damn thing makeing me break something.
It’s ALL the fault of the spider!!! The spawn of Satan they are!!!
