Have you ever walked around somewhere outside when you suddenly barge through a web-like strand, with no traceable origin? Like, completely away from any trees, buildings, or anything else a spider would likely hang around? I feel like it happens to me a lot. I will be looking in one direction while walking through a parking lot or an open field, we'll say, and a shimmering beam of light suddenly appears for a split second and then vanishes. Then, I feel the suction of its weightlessness cling to me but I can't get rid of it. I don't even know where the web is on my own body, let alone where the body is that made it.
That wasn't really supposed to evolve into anything too deep. I just wonder if that happens to other people too. Nonetheless, when I climbed into my car today after work, I once again ran into a web and I had no idea where it came from. However, with the plentiful planes about me, I doubted not the existence of a spider in my car. I drove back to Dutton (my hometown) without thinking anything of it, went to my favorite park to do some homework in the last echoes of summer, and then proceeded home after that. When I pulled into my neighborhood, the culprit climbed out from above my ceiling fabric and perused the windshield glass, scurrying about in what I assume was great confusion. I'd hope not though, considering it got itself into that mess to begin with (perhaps it would say the same about me when I got into my car).
Anyways, when I got home, I found a napkin in my glove compartment and ushered the spider onto it, but not without much physical assertion. Once I got it out and set it on the ground, I looked over underneath the shadowed underbelly of my car to find an even bigger mess: my engine coolant/antifreeze is leaking like no other.
The spider scurried off, and I felt incredibly jealous. Have a good life not worrying about stupid shit like us humans, friend. Have a good life without any leaks. I hope...
