Bill was in the house. Wind was blowing in through the windows. It was dark and cold. Bill heard a voice. It was coming from his room. He went to his room. There was nothing. But as soon as he went out something was holding him. He felt really weird. He started screaming loudly.
Bill woke up with fright. He realised it was just a dream. It was still night time. He heard the dripping of the tap downstairs. Bill felt hungry. He went downstairs to get a snack but he stopped halfway. The main door was wide open. How could that be? He went and closed the door. He got three cookies from the pantry.
Suddenly he froze. Something was behind him. He felt cobwebs on the back of his neck when he turned around. His throat was dry when he saw what was there. It was a spider. It was not small. It was massive. He became unconscious. The spider came closer to him. He fell down and fainted on the spider.
From today Bill's location remains unknown. There is no evidence for the police to investigate.
