the spider in the bath
there's a spider in my bath. it's quite big by overall footprint, but it's no tarantula. it's been there for about 5 days.
I'm beginning to feel a bit sorry for it. Ever since I first noticed it, I've been kind of assuming it will find it's own way out. But not so far.
Most of the time, it barely moves. It sits there, right by the plug hole. Almost as though it's plucking up the courage to do what must be done.
It reminds me of Touching the Void. The injured, bereft, starving mountaineer decides that he cannot ever hope to climb out of the deep snow cravass with his broken leg. The cravass air does not seem stale. Maybe further down in the cravass he will find his miracle: another way out.
You see, I always thought that spiders liked drains anyway. Then I realised this for what it was: indoctrination

there is a saying here that if you have spiders in the house, soon old friends will come to visit you...
