    NOOOOOO WHY YOU DO DIS TO MEEEEEEEE ;D

    *blank*  I forgot what I did but you’re welcome 😈

    I landed in a spiderweb and that was the last thing I remembered until I’m stuck now, like really stuck like dry spaghetti stuck. I don’t know what your first instinct would be but mine is to scream and flop around. But all I get is a mouthful of web (yuck) and my arm twisted above my head, I don’t even know which way is up! Everything’s sorta nauseous and sleepy like I’ve been given a sedative or something. Come on, thinkthinkthink!
    Ugh I think my last braincell took a vacation.
    Spiders stuck flies’ insides out with their tongue.
    With that very comforting thought I hack and kick at the webs twice as hard. It’s not really helping, but I think I can hear something above me, kinda echoy, like…oh shoot oh shoot! Whatever it is it’s right above me and I can’t tell what it’s doing–Focus, come on!
    Dong! Dong!
    If I’m in a grandfather clock it wouldn’t be so shaky with every chime. If I didn’t know any better–which I totally don’t–the wires are getting realer and I’m starting to…fade? This is me not panicking no panicking don’t panic!
    Dong! Dong!
    There’s I don’t know a thud, a cry, and a shriek above me. This is bad this is really bad! Ping! The webs are springing back and forth with every thud, it’s like a bad joke between dangling in the air and trying to scramble out a net. I think something landed right above me, something small and…here’s hoping it’s something useful…
    Dong! Dong!
    Oh. Swell. A lighter.
    “I’ve won!! You can’t back out now!!!” Whatever her voice is it’s not human and it vibrates off everything like a shrieking violin. I can’t hear anything else or see anything or ever breathe this is so bad!
    Wait. A lighter…
    I light it.
    Dong! Dong!
    It was a bad idea now everything’s on fire.
    “Ehud! What the h–?!” I don’t hear anything else over my own screaming as I fall several layers of web down, wow the whole thing is lit! Like literally! And that’s a really really awful bad smell like burning plastic smell. Gold light blasts through a mesh of well, everything and there’s an earthshattering shriek from Miss Monster.
    But that doesn’t matter three silhouettes hue gold as the fire snaps through the tangled air. There’s Rosy there’s Rosy! With a look like what the heck level of stupidity was that?! And the Spider/Lord Caste/Kaleidoscope Miss Monster dragging webs closer…and closer…
    But the third silhouette was a gun just a yard away from me.
    Dong! Dong!
    I see it but the monster sees it too and hisses. With everything burning I gotta hold on to the webs above me or dangle or I don’t even know I’ve never climbed something like this! Everything gives or is too tight and I don’t which thread is gonna do which.
    “You’re mine!” It snarls but it jerks to the side as Rosy kicks it with all her weight. I think I made it I think I got it.
    Wait. I’ve never shot anything in my life!
    No time I gotta do this!
    Dong!–One more dong to make twelve I grip the gun so hard it hurts and that’s when the frozen face shifts to my mom’s, looking worn and scared and caring like the last thing I remember of her. ‘You can’t do this to me…?’ Her shaken eyes said.
    Bang!
    It was the memory, not her, I just killed…
    Dong!
