Jumping out of my skin
is tough to do.But I nearly accomplished that trick. That's a neat trick because I combined levitation from a completely horizontal position.
What caused me to react this way? The one and only thing possible.
A spider.
A big, brown, monstrosity of a spider.
I did happen to notice it was a brown recluse too. Yes kids, they are poisonous.
The short story goes, that I was laying on the couch reading the new Harry Potter book (yes, all of the sudden dorkishness comes to the surface in a boiling torrent) when I felt this light sensation on my arm. I brushed it away and gave it no second thoughts.
A short while later the sensation was back. Being that my thoughts were well tied the beginnings of Mr. Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts, I wasn't paying close attention. Again a hand brush. It was beginning to feel more like the back of a shampoo bottle with the instructions for lather, rinse, repeat, only it was feel the sensation, hand brush, go back to reading.
The third time, I looked down at my arm.
SPIDER!!
Every muscle in my body tensed and my whole body levitated off the couch. HOLYICKYHEEBIEJEEBIESGROSSEWWWONMEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Once my feet hit the floor, the spider died within three-tenths of a second. I mashed it's poisonous ass into the ground with a satisfying crunch. I'm certain that little brown bastard was about to bite me too.
Dammit, I hate spiders.
