I wrote this short story on Mastodon on July 8, 2018. It is a true story of what happened when a large, and incredibly dumb spider, decided to come in for a visit. The Mastodon post was a “first draft”, and the story appears here after editing.
I read “Spider is Recalculating” on Episode 060 of Words of Jen.
