  1. >you are an organism residing on the plane of physical existence
  2. >as your mind does not function by human standards you have no means by which to narrate your existence
  3. >for simplicity's sake we will assume that you exhibit human-like sentience
  4. >you are a spider
  5. >you live in a beautiful tree in the middle of an equally beautiful forest
  6. >your late husband impregnated you against your will the other day
  7. >he was delicious
  8. >unfortunately this means you will have to relocate
  9. >your delightful home is not properly equipped for the millions of tiny spider spawn you will have soon
  10. >you are contemplating your next move when your spider equivalent of ears registers some unusual noises
  11. >"Ooh, pwetty wed tingies on twee!"
  12. >"Aw nummies? Need nummies fow babehs!"
  13. >these noises sound somewhat familiar
  14. >some large, bright orange creatures with big sticks were passing through a few weeks ago and were making noises like these
  15. >your husband recognized the noises and called them "humans"
  16. >these sounds are different though, more high pitched and simple
  17. >you do not understand them anyway
  18. >against your better judgement you slowly creep out of your hollow home and into your depressingly empty web
  19. >six brightly colored creatures sit at the bottom of your tree, they do not seem to notice you
  20. >they are very strange and you have never seen anything like them before
  21. >your husband would probably have known about them
  22. >perhaps you should not have been so hasty to devour him after the mating
  23. >one of the creatures is slightly swollen and has three smaller creatures curled into its fluffy coat
  24. >though you do not know these creatures you surmise the small ones are offspring
  25. >they are still far larger than you so you settle down and watch them for a while as they do not appear to be a threat
  26. >with your hyper-advanced spider eyes you note that the offspring have small odd protrusions on their mouths
  27. >they are not unlike your own fangs though of a much lighter color; this piques your interest
  28. >one of the creatures sniffs at the nightshade bush next to your tree
  29. >"Mmm, wed nummies smeww pwetty an' sweet!"
  30. >the creature chomps down on a mouthful of berries from the bush, chewing them happily
  31. >"Sewfis fwuffy take aww nummies! Giv to mumma fow baybeh miwk!"
  32. >the swollen one barges through the others and devours most of the berries, prompting the others to follow suit
  33. >these berries have been a great detriment to predators
  34. >you climb down to the bush a few minutes later and inspect the situation
  35. >all of the creatures are lying mostly dead on the ground
  36. >a sickly green fluid is bubbling up from their throats
  37. >you climb up onto the swollen one making sure to avoid the toxic slime flowing from the orifices of her face
  38. >as you expected the three offspring are still asleep in their mother's fluff having not eaten any berries
  39. >you slowly approach one of the dozing fluffies and inspect its face, prodding it with one of your forelegs
  40. >the creature's eyelids slowly rise and it lets out a long yawn
  41. >it looks around momentarily before noticing you and bearing its fanged teeth in a wide smile
  42. >"Mumma, new fwuffy fwiend hab lotsa leggies! Hewwo new fwiend!"
  43. >the unexpected noise and a faceful of fluffy breath has thoroughly startled you
  44. >you lash out at the creature, driven by an instinctual urge to protect your unborn offspring
  45. >your fangs and pinprick legs slash bloody lines through the thin skin on the foal's face
  46. >you appear to have ruptured one of its fragile eyes as it begins gushing blood
  47. "Owwies! Mumma hewp! Dawk! Huwt! Mumma!"
  48. >the foal shouts incoherently for a few seconds before falling silent from blood loss and your potent venom
  49. >unfortunately its tirade has caused the other fanged foals to awaken aswell
  50. >"Why lowd?" "Mumma!" "Hungy!"
  51. >their noise and sickly sweet breath agitates you further and you quickly silence the other foals in similar ways
  52. >with the loud noises finally silenced you now have the patience to inspect the teeth of the dead foals
  53. >sure enough, each one has small rounded fangs of varying size protruding from their tiny mouth
  54. >you did not observe this on the mouth of any of the larger fluffies, this is quite the oddity
  55. >the smell of foal breath still lingers
  56. >you try to wipe it off by running around in the dew-slicked grass
  57. >you can still smell it, but it's not from you
  58. >it's coming from somewhere else
  59. >your spider sense tingles and you decide to investigate
  60. >you trek for many spider-hours across many spider-miles
  61. >about six minutes and ninety meters
  62. >when you finally arrive at the source of the odor your eight glorious eyes behold a sight like nothing they have seen before
  63. >a severely malnourished foal looking to be from the same pack as the three you just saw is lying in the grass
  64. >its head is being held up by two massive fangs far larger than the ones on the previous creatures
  65. >its outer fluff is a dark grey and matted down with dirt and excretions
  66. >flies buzz noisily around its barely decomposing remains
  67. >it is perfect
  68.  
  69. >now that everything is finally prepared you settle down for a rest
  70. >you're much more tired than you think you should be
  71. >you devoured the maggots in the foal's eyesockets and deposited your eggs
  72. >they will be warm and safe in the cranium of your final home
  73. >its imposing fangs keep away predators
  74. >its decomposing remains attract prey and can even be used for food in some of the softer areas
  75. >though it is physically impossible for you to smile you can't help but feel a sense of spider satisfaction
  76. >as an endless sleep overtakes you you contemplate how this mysterious creature has helped you without ever knowing it
  77. >with your last thought you wish to silently thank these unknown creatures that have become your best friends
  78. >you can't actually do that though
  79. >you are a spider
