This story was inspired by my own deep fear of spiders. I always check my bedroom for them before I got to sleep. Its pathetic really. Anyways, enjoy!
" I can ride my bike with no handle bars, no handle bars." Worm sang as he pulled his vest on over his shirt. He didn't have to worry about waking a still slumbering Roach since the kid slept like a damn rock.
" I cant ride my bike with no-"
His song was instantly silenced as a spider bigger than his hand crawled out of his left boot as if it were crawling out of the depths of hell.
" Hey Royce! Check this shit out!" Worm called across the tent. Royce looked up from his journal curiously.
" What is it?"
" This fucking spider is big enough to ask me for a cigarette! Come look at it!"
Royce rolled his eyes as he closed his journal and slipped it back under his pillow.
" If im going to come all the way over there that damn thing better be doing back flips or something."
Worm scoffed.
" Just get you ass over here!"
Royce approached his friend excepting a small house spider. He was wrong.
" Holy mother of god!" He exclaimed at the sight of the spider. This was definitely going in his journal.
" No, I hate peaches….."
Both men turned towards Roach, who was talking in his sleep, as usual. A grin spread on Worms face.
" Hold on man, I have an idea."
Royce turned back to the spider as Worm rummaged through his belongings a few feet away. After a few seconds he found what he was looking for, a thick pair of brown working gloves. He slipped them on as he joined Royce at his side.
" Watch this." Worm instructed as he reached for the spider and grabbed it by one of the legs. The spider squirmed for a few a few seconds before freezing, most likely playing dead. Royce's eyes went wide when he realized what his friend was going to do.
" He is probably going to have a heart attack." He warned. Worm shrugged as he tip toed over to Roach's bunk and gently placed the spider on his chest. The spider remained frozen. Perfect. Worm took in a deep breath.
" ROACH YOU KNOCKED UP YOUR GIRLFRIEND!"
Roach's eyes shot open and instantly saw the spider, staring at him.
" HOLY SHIT PIES!" Roach screamed. In one, ungraceful motion he jumped out of his bed, causing the spider to fall to the floor. The creature scurried under the bed in fright. After a few seconds of silence, both Royce and Worm burst out laughing. Roach glared at the two of them when he realized exactly what happened.
" You guys are such assholes!" He exclaimed. After a few more seconds of hysterical laughing the two other men finally calmed down.
" Im sorry Roach, but it was to easy." Worm apologized as he wiped a tear from his eye. Roach sighed and searched the floor for the spider. He had gone from fearing the spider to feeling bad for it. Suddenly the laughter between Royce and Worn started up again, full force.
" What?" Roach asked as he tilted his head in curiosity.
" Nice boxers you little flamer!" Worm managed. Roach looked down and blushed deep red. He was in his boxers, the white ones with hearts, to be exact.
Writing this story made my skin crawl, lol. The next chapter will be up soon. Worm was singing "Handlebars" By the FloBots.
