Back in Peter's boyhood home, Aunt May was in her flannel nightgown, getting ready for bed. She turned the bed down carefully, smoothed the pillow.

She walked to her bathroom past a window. The drapes were still open. She filled a glass of water, carried it past the window again, and brought it to the night table.

She set it down on the night table, next to a raft of prescription pill bottles.

She turned, her back to the window, and knelt down next to the bed. Her knees creaked, it was painful for her, she folded her hands and closed her eyes in prayer.

"Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name." Aunt May said.

Behind her, the drapes were still open. Out the window, a tiny speck appeared on the horizon. But that speck was approaching. Aunt May was kneeling with her back turned, she had no idea.

"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven." Aunt May said.

The speck got larger fast, it was the Green Goblin, on his glider, headed right toward the window, but just before he was about to smash right through the window he stopped, abruptly, staring inside.

"Give us this day our daily bread..." Aunt May said.

The Goblin tilted his head, as if listening to her strange murmuring. As his helmet tilted, cocking off to the side like the RCA Dog.

"...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but..." Aunt May said.

With an incomprehensible burst of acceleration, the Goblin hit the gas and the glider rocketed forward, exploding through the window, sending shattering glass flying in all directions.

Aunt May spun around, horrified, and fell to the floor, on her

back. The Goblin hovered over her terror-stricken face. The room slowly filled with green vapor and the low, horrible buzz of the glider's engine.

"... but... but... but..." Aunt May said.

Aunt May paled, her eyes popped wide, staring up into the inhuman, yellow eyes of the Goblin's helmet, now just twelve inches separated her from those eyes.

"FINISH IT! FINISH IT!" Goblin said.

Her hands clutched her chest, she gasped: "...DELIVER US FROM EVIL!"

Her body arched, tensed, then went limp. Her eyes closed.

"Amen." Goblin said piously.

On the walls of the bedroom, Green spray paint sprayed a hideous message over Aunt May's pastel flowered wallpaper: "CRAWL AWAY, SPIDER!"
