It approached. Lisa's heartbeat quickened, her skin growing clammy, the room swimming. Oh my god, she thought, this can't be happening.
It came further - black and menacing, eyeing up it's latest victim.
Lisa knew she should do somehting, but fear had paralysed her. She couldn't think straight.
It stopped. Staring. Staring straight at her. Probably waiting to pounce.
She scanned the room, desperately looking for something she could use as a weapon. Nothing. Nothing that would do much damage, what could she do throw a pillow at it?
Without warning, it began to move again; faster than before. Almost running towards her. Frozen to the spot, Lisa tried to scream. Nothing came out. All she could do was stand and stare and await her fate.
Backing into the corner, there was nowhere to escape to.
Suddenly, she heard the door. Dan.
"In the bedroom" she shouted. Watching the spider dart under the bed.
