Red Recluse Spinner Attacks Lost Bird in Sleep
Faremount. Lately, I've been waking up with certain marks on my arms, chest and neck. The marks are usually a reddish-purple and tend to get darker in time. The most recent, on my forearm covering a great area of flesh.
I went to the doctor to find out if they knew what these marks were. Giving me the uninsured exam the doctor concluded that they were spider bites. I jumped on the exam table.
"Spider bites?" I exclaimed, "What the hell kind of spider bites with a mouth that size?"
He ran through his reference book and said it was the Red Recluse Spinner Spider. They are a very intelligent spider, they've been known to even be able to pass microbiology exams and pass themselves off as human beings.
The next morning I awoke, tightly wrapped in a blanket like a coccoon. I felt weak and drained. Just my forearm was sticking out with little dribblets dotting around the mark I mentioned earlier. I rolled toward my girlfriend and asked her if she saw a spider about the size of a human being and she didn't answer me. I pulled myself out of the coccoon and leaned over to see if she was okay. She was laying there, with a smile on her face, and dried blood on the corner of her lips.
