Friendly Hands

As she has had several hard accomplishments and many knocks along the way building a business, life has provided many up’s and downs. Tonight was no different, as she lay her head on her pillow, breathing and concentrating on the noise of her breath, she slowly relaxed and felt heavier, more secure and feeling the warmth of her families love.

Her health is of major concern which in tale turns the business upside down now; the future proves to be very confronting.

Slowly she falls deeper and deeper into sleep, the night goes by and dawn begins, so does the messages coming through clear as crystal, A conversation in her mind, she listens with intense empathy, there is a large black spider in the area; it has already bitten four men, two have died almost instantly, and the other two are in a serious condition in hospital. The outlook is very bleak.

Suddenly something lands on her head, the fear of the spider sends her into hysteria, flicking at the top of her hair, and she frantically tries to flick what she believes to be a spider off her head. Nothing is coming off, she goes over to a nurse in the corridor, calmly asking her if she could look on the top of her head and let her know if anything is up there.

The horror on the nurse’s face changed and the creepy crawling sensation begins again, slowly moving down the face, down the body causing intense fear to move. Plucking up the courage, she moves to a deep square cement hole filled with water. Stepping in with the hope the spider will move off and she will be safe again. The spider continues to move down on to her trouser leg toward the opening in the leg, surely it will begin to float and she will be safe.

She feels the spider move up her leg, the fear is now intense beyond belief, and surely this spider can sense the fear and will bit soon. It slowly moves and the trousers begin to be quite fitting, the fear of a sudden sting is imminent. Staying in the water with petrified fear, time passes and she can no longer feel the spider, has it found an exit and left her alone.

Several thoughts go through her mind, deciding the spider was gone, she slowly moves from the water, still no feelings and no sudden sting, it must be gone. She feels safe now and walks around comfortable laughing and amongst others, a man approaches and accidentally nudges into her, confusion has over come her face, the man apologizes and asks if she is alright, her reply is shaky requesting him to check if she has something on her, very odd request but he obliges, as she turns lowering the top of her trousers at the back, he jumps back and informs her of the spider.
