The Scare of a Lifetime!

[kakoi_sugoi_yama]

I was following the regular morning routine, I had just fed the dog and let him out, and went back to playing around with my computer. Minutes later I hear the door creak back open (when I let the dog out I do not shut the door all the way). I head out into the kitchen and shut the door behind the dog, and think nothing more about the situation. I went back to the computer and started up a game, and I hear my mother (getting ready for work) gasp: "Oh my God".

Upon hearing those words my heart started to race. I knew that something had to be wrong. I ran to the kitchen and asked mom what was going on. She just said "LOOK" and pointed to the floor. I glanced down and saw a giant spider on the kitchen floor. When I say "giant" I mean it. I instantly recognized the spider to be a Wolf Spider. A spider that is notorious for killing small pets that wander to close to it's subterranean home ( The Wolf Spider is a hunting spider, meaning that it has no web and actively hunts for prey). I loathe spiders. Especially extremely LARGE quick moving aggressive spiders. Armed with a shoe box top I tried to trap it, but I was much too slow. The spider scuttled under the washing machine. I decided that when dealing with a foe this cunning a simple box top would not suffice. I reached under the kitchen sink and grasped a can of RAID. I sprayed under the washing machine. The wolf quickly darted out, and stood defiantly looking up at me. I could see "all" of it's eyes shimmering. It was angry.

The spider charged. I opened fire. I sprayed it, until its brown furry body was coated in white frothy foam. The Wolf's movement went from quick snappy jumps to a lethargic saunter. I dropped the box top on top on my enemy, and stood triumphant.





My heart is still fluttering, and this happened three hours ago.
