Our New Roomate

Two days ago, Herdis found a huge spider in the bathroom. With a solid black body and thick legs spanning perhaps one and a half inches, the insect showed no fear of humans whatsoever. In an impressive show of courage and humanity, Herdis caught the beast and released it into the back gargen. Yesterday, however, it was back. That's when I got involved, I being a man of action. I captured the spider in a plastic cup, marched it around to the front of our building, and released it near the front porch that belongs to our neighbor who's been stealing our Sunday NY Times. This morning, I awoke with a spider bite on my wrist. So that's it. This calls for drastic measures. I'll try to hunt down the determined little insect this evening to announce my full and unconditional surrender.
