Quick Stories! - The Spider

Oh no.

I couldn’t find the ring! My lucky charm that was supposed to keep me safe!1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7dIznZ8Ot

My favourite TV show was The Truth about Magic. All other shows about magic were fake. Everything in The Truth about Magic was real. The show said so. 1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuU3fYQ6PGi

Mum bought me the ring for my 6th birthday, because I’d begged her so so much. The show said that without the ring, bad things happened to you.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMF28qk09J

I knew it worked because Billy broke his arm at the jungle gym when he wasn’t wearing the ring. I’d never broken an arm before. And I also knew it worked because I hadn't seen a spider since my 6th birthday. I was petrified of spiders. I got bitten by one when I was five, back when I didn’t have a ring. 1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakLuH1jxvj

And I couldn’t find it. I’d searched everywhere.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilnYxI8y37

I slumped down into my pink office chair. I started to cry. I’ll be killed tonight, because I’m not wearing a ring!1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAy5RAGmxR

I heard a quiet noise behind me. 1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFa9UWS9SI

I started crying more. A bad stranger just appeared in my room. He was going to kill me.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡux40vDCR5U

The show said that if you heard a noise behind you, someone was there. The show also said that if there’s someone behind you, you weren’t allowed to turn around and make eye contact with them. If you didn’t turn around for five minutes, they’d disappear.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUhzxNlF5m

I was facing a wall, staring at a The Truth about Magic poster. I didn’t have a clock, so I started to count to 50. There were 50 seconds in a minute.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATVIpRq6AR

That’s the last 50. I was really scared because maybe I counted too fast. But I really wanted the bad stranger to disappear.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwfu6eCEDD

I slowly turned around in my chair. Disappear. Disappear.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr1GiaBMpC

I screamed.1294Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLedNVN2IhQ

The spider didn’t disappear.
