Just a Guy
Reinventing Myself
:salam2:
Seeking Allah's Mercy, I have always had a fear of spiders as far back as I can remember.
I think it goes back to the time when I was maybe 5 or 6, playing hide and seek at a friend's house, with the lights off, in the basement. I wandered face-first into a spider web and just freaked out. I was screaming and crying ike a maniac running through the house to the bathroom to wash it all off of me. Ever since then I have been afraid of spiders. Even the small ones freak me out.
Plus they have all of those eyes and legs and it makes them look like some otherworldy horror.
JenGiove, I bet that was something to see, this woman holding a snake like it's nothing while all the dudes recoil in horror. Someone should have taken a picture of that.
kashif_nazeer, lucky the snake was just a black racer and not a cobra like in xAllahKnowsBestx's story. I don't think I would have been as brave (or foolish) had it been a venomous snake. We do have copperheads, rattlensnakes, and cottonmouths where I live, and all are venomous pit vipers.
When I still lived with my parents, one of their dogs was bitten by a copperhead. She survived it and lived for years afterwards. The dog's name was Wolf, so I used to call her "Snakedog" and "Copperhead Wolf" in honor of that event.
Z is my mouse-killer, and as I said, she is very catlike in her killing. I don't know where she learned it from since I have never had a cat. But it's funny to see this big German Shepherd-Doberman mix chasing a little mouse around while my collie (my other dog) just lays on the deck watching them.
