Once,

I thought

I was

a spider.

"Maybe that's not me!" I said

when I looked in the mirror.

"Maybe I'm not

a giant

spider!"

But it was

so, so true.

I looked

in the mirror.

I did not like

what I saw.

I had

become

a lovely, lovely spider.

So, I went

and ate

some bugs.

But I was

still so hungry

still so hungry

so I wanted

something more.

I was hungry

so I started doing

one thing more.

I ate other spiders!

Others like me!

I ate other spiders

and it filled me up with glee!

So many spiders

for me

to eat.

and oh!

so delicious

inside

my tummy!

I ate the spiders

and I grew.

I ate the spiders

and never flew.

Sometimes I would

try to try to catch a bird,

it's true!

Lovely spiders for me

to eat!

Giant

things,

yes!

with

eight feet!

I loved to eat the spiders,

even though

I'm a spider.

It's kind of like

what the

humans do.

For they prey,

they prey upon

each other.

Extracting

their juicy,

juicy goo.

But! Me,

I do it literally

while they,

they do it figuratively.

They extract themselves

such delicious goo!

Making husks of their fellow humans.

Yes! It's true!
