Two tiny, sleepy spiders climb in front of the screen, sillouetted by the eternally blue background.

"Gods. I think I'm getting fatter. Even my father said so today."

They're both on the same strand, but it curves with my breath so I wasn't sure at first.

"I mean, look at this gut. It's bigger than it was last week. I think I gained ten pounds."

They're climbing slowly, so very slowly. I can see their tiny legs as the crawl vertically. It's pretty neat.

"You know, I don't care whether you're four hundred pounds or ninety, I'm still going to like you either way..."

One is crawling over the F7 key. I think the top spider snipped the thread. The other one has crawled back up the thread to the naked lightbulb overhead.

"Just...don't become four hundred pounds just to prove me wrong, 'kay?"

I can't see either of them anymore. I wonder where they went.

"Heheh. Okay. I'll stay the way I am."

Whoops. I think I just squished one under the W key by accident.

"Eeexcellent."

Life happens.
