TBTT#32 As if Spiders Weren’t Bad Enough ~ 6/29/2013

I dreamed my New Orleans game night group and I were walking down near the Walmart on Tchoupitoulas, which was nearby, when some convicts, most of whom were murderers, were lead down the street with people who were claiming that the convicts had repented, were born again, and needed to be forgiven, and we should donate money to help raise awareness for them.  An old paunchy silver haired man who looked like a football coach put his hand on my shoulder and said, “You NEED to do something for them!”  I glared at him and said I pray for them all every day, now get your hands OFF of me.  Then we joined up with Greg Sanders and Warrick Brown from CSI, and they were trying to solve some mystery.  The killings involved a new species of tiny, black, bioengineered spiders that scatter in the light, but in darkness gather by the hundreds and thousands, begin to vibrate up and down in chorus like daddy longlegs, and then, with sparks and flashes of tiny blue lightning, shoot forth suffocating grey masses of sticky cobwebs to engulf a person.  The spiders had infested my hill country home, and we were trying to both get rid of them and study them, and they kept massing in the TV room, in the deep corner recesses of the built-in book shelves.  At some point Adam and Jamie from the Mythbusters teamed up to help us.  As long as we kept our flashlights and cellphone lights trained on the corners, the spiders stayed hidden, but the lights kept going out, and we’d see the little blue sparking arcs start up, and scramble to get the lights back on. Then I woke up.
