>you are an organism residing on the plane of physical existence >as your mind does not function by human standards you have no means by which to narrate your existence >for simplicity's sake we will assume that you exhibit human-like sentience >you are a spider >you live in a beautiful tree in the middle of an equally beautiful forest >your late husband impregnated you against your will the other day >he was delicious >unfortunately this means you will have to relocate >your delightful home is not properly equipped for the millions of tiny spider spawn you will have soon >you are contemplating your next move when your spider equivalent of ears registers some unusual noises >"Ooh, pwetty wed tingies on twee!" >"Aw nummies? Need nummies fow babehs!" >these noises sound somewhat familiar >some large, bright orange creatures with big sticks were passing through a few weeks ago and were making noises like these >your husband recognized the noises and called them "humans" >these sounds are different though, more high pitched and simple >you do not understand them anyway >against your better judgement you slowly creep out of your hollow home and into your depressingly empty web >six brightly colored creatures sit at the bottom of your tree, they do not seem to notice you >they are very strange and you have never seen anything like them before >your husband would probably have known about them >perhaps you should not have been so hasty to devour him after the mating >one of the creatures is slightly swollen and has three smaller creatures curled into its fluffy coat >though you do not know these creatures you surmise the small ones are offspring >they are still far larger than you so you settle down and watch them for a while as they do not appear to be a threat >with your hyper-advanced spider eyes you note that the offspring have small odd protrusions on their mouths >they are not unlike your own fangs though of a much lighter color; this piques your interest >one of the creatures sniffs at the nightshade bush next to your tree >"Mmm, wed nummies smeww pwetty an' sweet!" >the creature chomps down on a mouthful of berries from the bush, chewing them happily >"Sewfis fwuffy take aww nummies! Giv to mumma fow baybeh miwk!" >the swollen one barges through the others and devours most of the berries, prompting the others to follow suit >these berries have been a great detriment to predators >you climb down to the bush a few minutes later and inspect the situation >all of the creatures are lying mostly dead on the ground >a sickly green fluid is bubbling up from their throats >you climb up onto the swollen one making sure to avoid the toxic slime flowing from the orifices of her face >as you expected the three offspring are still asleep in their mother's fluff having not eaten any berries >you slowly approach one of the dozing fluffies and inspect its face, prodding it with one of your forelegs >the creature's eyelids slowly rise and it lets out a long yawn >it looks around momentarily before noticing you and bearing its fanged teeth in a wide smile >"Mumma, new fwuffy fwiend hab lotsa leggies! Hewwo new fwiend!" >the unexpected noise and a faceful of fluffy breath has thoroughly startled you >you lash out at the creature, driven by an instinctual urge to protect your unborn offspring >your fangs and pinprick legs slash bloody lines through the thin skin on the foal's face >you appear to have ruptured one of its fragile eyes as it begins gushing blood "Owwies! Mumma hewp! Dawk! Huwt! Mumma!" >the foal shouts incoherently for a few seconds before falling silent from blood loss and your potent venom >unfortunately its tirade has caused the other fanged foals to awaken aswell >"Why lowd?" "Mumma!" "Hungy!" >their noise and sickly sweet breath agitates you further and you quickly silence the other foals in similar ways >with the loud noises finally silenced you now have the patience to inspect the teeth of the dead foals >sure enough, each one has small rounded fangs of varying size protruding from their tiny mouth >you did not observe this on the mouth of any of the larger fluffies, this is quite the oddity >the smell of foal breath still lingers >you try to wipe it off by running around in the dew-slicked grass >you can still smell it, but it's not from you >it's coming from somewhere else >your spider sense tingles and you decide to investigate >you trek for many spider-hours across many spider-miles >about six minutes and ninety meters >when you finally arrive at the source of the odor your eight glorious eyes behold a sight like nothing they have seen before >a severely malnourished foal looking to be from the same pack as the three you just saw is lying in the grass >its head is being held up by two massive fangs far larger than the ones on the previous creatures >its outer fluff is a dark grey and matted down with dirt and excretions >flies buzz noisily around its barely decomposing remains >it is perfect   >now that everything is finally prepared you settle down for a rest >you're much more tired than you think you should be >you devoured the maggots in the foal's eyesockets and deposited your eggs >they will be warm and safe in the cranium of your final home >its imposing fangs keep away predators >its decomposing remains attract prey and can even be used for food in some of the softer areas >though it is physically impossible for you to smile you can't help but feel a sense of spider satisfaction >as an endless sleep overtakes you you contemplate how this mysterious creature has helped you without ever knowing it >with your last thought you wish to silently thank these unknown creatures that have become your best friends >you can't actually do that though >you are a spider
