IN THE DARKNESS

We watch, always, in the dark. Watching. Waiting. Hungry.

We are always hungry. Sweet treats in the forest! We catch them in our webs and keep them, letting fear make them taste sweet, savory… animals, children, hobbits…

We always hunger. For more. For it all. We want. We hunger…

Our webs are beautiful. So intricate, so sublime. Come closer! Look at the beauty. See the pattern. Closer still.

Come closer. Pain makes the meat sweet… fear makes it sweeter still. Come closer.

Can you see me in the dark? I can see you, so sweet, so close.

We watch always.
