The Spider and the Fly

Driving to a meeting yesterday afternoon, I noticed a small, pale brown spider making his/her way across the inside of my windshield. At a certain point, the spider was right in my field of vision, so I knocked it away, not seeing where it went.

A minute later, I saw what I assume is the same spider scampering across my dashboard and along the window sill by my left arm. Again, I flicked it and didn’t see where it went.

My next view was the same spider running up my seat right at my crotch.

This time, I was lethal.
