…………………………………

Gaia’s mind was ablaze with nightmare images. She was in a dark tunnel being pursued by a group of large spiders. There was a light, and a voice calling. The light grew brighter and a figure emerged, just the dark outline. It was a female voice, reaching out to Gaia, begging her to run faster, pleading, getting more and more frantic. The creatures were upon Gaia. The spiders caught her, pouncing one by one, wrapping their legs around her, and injecting their poison. In every nightmare Gaia thought she had made it to the end of the tunnel, to safety, but the creatures always won. As Gaia drifted away the voice was still calling her name.

Gaia awoke. Her head was throbbing with a piercing headache. Her throat felt like it was coated in sand. She tried to swallow, but struggled, went to move her body, but there was no response. Gaia concentrated on her fingers, but could not feel them, tried to move her toes, but again there was nothing. She sat upright, looking forward, and could just make out the trees and bushes of the woods bathed in the silvery blanket of web. It was daylight with shafts of sunlight piercing the gaps in the trees. Gaia’s head was locked and facing forward. There was a sickness in the pit of her stomach. The nightmares had subsided, the memories of what had happened returned. Death was upon her, as Gaia drifted away again.

It was night, and Gaia was cold. Her body was numb with only a faint tingling sensation in her fingers and toes. The throbbing in Gaia’s head had eased, but her vision was blurred and there was still the urge to vomit. Her mouth was dry, like it had been stripped of all its skin. There was a noise and vibrations through the strands of web that bound her. It was the same rattling noise from the night they were attacked. It was quiet, distant, and intermittent at first. The rattle got louder, the vibrations stronger. Gaia sensed something by her side, heard the rattle, then it stopped.

There was a long pause, no sound or movement. Gaia saw it, a huge black monstrous ball of coarse black hairs with bulbous red eyes. The creature’s legs stretched out, straddling Gaia’s helpless body. Its scarlet eyes blazed, the dripping jaws inches from her face. Gaia could smell the spider’s rancid breath, see the thick saliva oozing from its mouth. Its teeth were large, pointed, and menacing. Gaia tried to move her arms, but she was trapped, wrapped in the binding coffin of web. Her veins still oozed with the burning poison that had paralysed her. This was the end, and Gaia was helpless. This was the moment of death, but Gaia felt no fear. Despite the imminent doom there was a strange calm, a resignation towards her fate.

The jaws of the spider moved closer, pressing close to her face. The creature surveyed her, smelling every inch of skin. It was poised, ready to make its move.
