It started with a first sighting, and then came a chain reaction of everyone at the minicamp spotting the giant spiders and their young on the ceilings of the ranch. There was fear in the air. They crawled like...well, they crawled like spiders. But they were the size of large pine cones, dangling above our heads like we were so vulnerable, their legs each moving like they had a mind of their own.
It wasn’t long before four heroes emerged: Bruce, the leader. Michael, the strange. Blake, the determined. And, Skye, the, umm, well, Skye... Together they hatched a devious plan to rid the minicamp of the spiders once and for all.
Armed with nothing more than a ladder, a broom, and a can of bug spray, the brave ones set off on their epic quest.
But little did they know that when Bruce climbed the ladder, hundreds of tiny newborn spiders would be poised for the attack. Unfortunately, there were. But, with his amazing wits and quick reaction, Bruce lifted in his hand the only weapon available, and vaporized hundreds in a cloud of poisonous mist.
Unfortunately, this little move made the largest spider of all very angry, and out it came, hissing and dripping from it’s lengthy fangs a deadly venom.
But, just as it was ready to attack, Blake threw the can of bug spray with perfect agility and aim to Bruce, and once more, the button was pressed, freezing a half of the spider.
As the heroes retreated, there was a sudden movement. The creature WASN”T DEAD!
With another swift move, Michael knocked the spider from it’s dangling web with the end of the broom and Skye leaped to the rescue, ending it’s life with a shower of bug spray...again.
But still, IT DIDN”T DIE!
Finally, one last burst of heroism brought the brave ones to a level they’d never hit before. They trapped the spider in a plastic drinking glass and fed it skillfully to another of it’s kind.
A new found light washed over the camp now. Some cheered, some shivered, some cried. All except for the heroes, who walked off in a cloud of victory to eat their chocolate breakfast cereal.
(All events depicted in this story are the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me god. This is a true story-it really happened.)
