Itsy Bitsy

by Manda Kay

His eyes fell on the black mark. Every time he started to look away, they would stray right back, as if his pupils were being pulled by magnets. It seemed to be moving, but he could be imagining it, he supposed. He was hearing voices, so why not see things move? Again and again it shook, first on one side, then the other, almost as if it was waving at him. Waving one spindly leg after another. *** Frederick was a normal guy, if just a little bit better than everyone else. His numbers at work were top notch. His home was filled with expensive things. His perfect hair and skin attracted the most beautiful woman in the office. Everything's coming up roses, and he's so here for it. But then, things changed overnight. It all started with a weird rash that wouldn't go away. Then came the voices. Before he knew it, there was someone (or something) living with him. Frederick never wanted a roommate, but the spider wasn't asking. Now, he is faced with two Do as Jethro says, or get ready to dig his own grave. But how far is Frederick willing to go for the spider mafia? Itsy Bitsy hovers the line of comedy and horror. It's a fun ride that will have you laughing one moment and shuddering the next.
