Arachne

There he was... staring at me.

How many eyes? And was he actually looking at me?

One hand in my lap, one on the pen, one in my hair, one supporting my head from falling off. Yes it is loosly attached.

He walked by me, came up from behind... I think I just saw the web being spinned. Caught up like a fly, or a flea... which is smaller?

But then it wasn't his web it was mine, wasn't it. So it's my own silk I'm caught in. And it was me who turned around to watch him, and tightened the knots. But atleast it was silk.

It was all in my head. He wasnt looking. I should snap out of it.

Was he? How many eyes?
