when the object of your fear …….
is on the other side of the glass!
Spiders are not our mini beast of choice …… we saw a film once, where a man was turned into half fly half man in a machine. He got stuck in a web and a spider was about to eat him. He was shouting for help in a half fly half man type voice …… it gave us the willies and we had to sleep with the light on for months!
But, we do appreciate the beauty of a spider's web, especially on a frosty morning, but since watching that film we avoid any machine that we think could turn us into half flies.
In Kafka's "The Metamorphosis," a man wakes to find he has turned into a spider. A friend often finds scorpions in her house close to ours. There was a huge tarantula on the grass when we went away for the weekend. Mosquitos have made me look like a monster - parts of me swell up something chronic. These mini beasts (silly phrase)can be really scary.
