My Own Blackwater

It has come to my attention that my room is covered in spider webs. This must have happened gradually, as the only time I'm in my room, the only light is that of my computer, and, for that matter, the only things I ever interact with in there are my computer and my bed. It would make sense for spiders to build webs in places I don't enter.

Scratch that, there's webs under the bed.

Now I must consider, I haven't seen anything alive in my room (that includes women) for at least 4 months. And, come to think of it, I haven't even seen the spiders that built the webs. There's 4 possibilities:

- The spiders all came overnight and I've yet to see them.
- Someone is playing a very elaborate joke on me.
- The webs have always been there, and the spiders are long gone
(Here's the one I'm going with)
- The amount of garbage [old popcans, used plates, etc] in my room has caused a steady number of insects to enter. However, I have not noticed because my room is actually filled with small cabals of ninja spiders, that eat the marauders long before I even notice them.

The strange part is, that's the most likely scenario. To be honest, if thats true, I really don't mind. They seem to be staying well out of my way, and they are providing a valuable, laziness-enabling service that I just can't get anywhere else.

So good luck you brave arachnids! And Godspeed.
