i've an agreement with the spiders here. they don't bite me and i don't squish them or toss them out into the cold. so they dwell with me in this small apartment and keep their part of the agreement, and i keep mine.
i guess i should have included my other housemates, the stinkbugs who've joined my menagerie. i walked into the bathroom to find one wrapped in a fine web and being watched over by it's captor. i wanted to confront the spider on the etiquette of apartment living. respect others, live and let live and all that. i realize they need to eat too, so decide that i'll just have to let them do their thing.
but i walk into the bathroom and see the mummified stinkbug on the floor, and realize it was not dinner. it just got caught up in the spider web..and the spider did what it does.. i need to warn the others to stay clear of the webs..
