Survival of the fittest!

More drama at Hotel Arachne! Patience II is no longer the top spider! I noticed her hanging out on the second tier of my window, so I looked up at the "entrance" where the bulk of the web was, and saw a usurper; a new web-spinner hanging out in the web Patience had woven.

I'ma toss this interloper out! Nobody puts Patience in the corner!

I CAN'T BARE IT ANY LONGER - THIS WORLD IS JUST TOO CRUEL.

Oh woe and lamentation I shall take myself away to a far and remote place where I shall set up a refuge for poor stricken archnids.

Take me with you! *flails arms*

It is truly a kind hearted woman who pleads economic justice for a spider. Now what happens to the widowed Patience left alone in the world to fend for herself? Will she recieve death benefits? Will she be able to put food on the table for her shildren? The strength of labor is and always will be unity. RIP Charlotte your friend always Wilbur.

Patience II has been my tenant for about a year now. She's a web spinner living at the gap in my windowsill. She keeps the riff-raff out. I guess that makes her front desk reception. She took over the position from Patience I.

I'm surprised Nibbles didn't eat Patience. He was a hunter that stalked ground-dwelling bugs. Never even bit me, though we met when he landed in my bed on my shoulder. I shook him off and went back to sleep. I should have evicted him for his own good... :(

The Spider's Tale or the Allegory of Nibbles and Patience has become an enthralling diversion. However, if it's true that such parables are ways of understanding things greater than ourselves, I wonder what the plight of these creatures tells us. I hope there is a happy ending, perhaps a swarm of locusts could descend on the countryside and consume all the crops, thereby providing bounty for the arachnids. However, I wouldn't presume to finish the story for that is the prerogative of the author.

rest in peace little nibbles.. (and by little i mean OMFG WHAT THE FUCK LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT GODDAMN SPIDER.)

i sure hope you don't starve to death betsy in this cruel economic climate^^

I feel quite bad about myself now - will you accept a charitable donation in the form of flies instead?
