My Number One Enemy.

I sat in the corner, trembling, with my desk as a shelter. They wouldn't get me again, they couldn't. It hurt so much the last time, I still had the sticky eye lids and spiky eyelashes from my tears. I prayed and prayed that it wouldn't happen again. Who gave creatures like this permission to live on this earth? They spread too much dread in this world, there was no point to their creation. I had never met a nice one from that family, it must have been in their DNA.
I suddenly heard shuffling from outside the room. They were coming. They were so close. All they had to do was get through the door, and then they'd be able to get at me again. I should have been brave, but with enemies like that, it was impossible.
Shadows crept along the bottom of my bedroom door. Oh dear.I could feel my heart beating faster and faster, louder and louder. I was starting to find it hard to breathe, I wished that it would be over soon.
Too late. There he stood, inches in front of me, his beady eyes staring right through me. So many eyes-and legs. Maybe he hadn't noticed me, but I realised as he crawled closer still, this spider was in for the kill.
