I always wanna be a strong person, but that doesn't mean I want these kinds of challenges!
In a
previous blog, I mentioned that I had encountered a very large spider and it had left me with a lot of trauma, but that spider has returned.
The setting for this episode is outdoors, in a dimly lit concrete box covered in ivy. I have to stay in that concrete room for about 15 seconds, 2 to 5 times a day on Sundays, and it's notorious many kinds of bugs live in there.
I had a hard time with my work that day, and 15 seconds had passed already. And the fear of an insect encounter was growing within me. Fear is an interesting thing. I create an even more frightening worry for myself, thinking that maybeythere is a spider at the very back of the concrete room, and then I can't help but want to go and check it out, as if I want to experience that fear.
My face turns in that direction of its own accord, as if something is forcing me to do so.
The concrete wall has black holes in it at regular intervals
There is a one black circle in the strange position that seems to disrupt the regularity...
Yes, it was him...Big Spider was there...
It's such a convenient nightmare.
Most of the time, my exaggerated delusions of fear don't come true, so while I was scared that there might be a spider, I was also enjoying the fear and thought, "No way that can't be the case."
I guess this must be the punishment about that.
But the fear doesn't end there. I tried to sneak up to the exit so as not to upset the spider, but it just like bee atack on crying face!!* (Or spider in this case?)
There was a second funny pal there. A spider with terrifyingly long, thin, wire-like limbs and a round, beady body was attached to the ceiling near the exit. I've only ever seen spiders like this in Tim Burton movies.
The first and second most frightening types of spiders I have ever seen were all in one place. My hands lost the warmth, as if all the blood had been drained from them, and I couldn't stop trembling. I also felt like I had lost some of the wrinkles in my brain.
Ah, it was a disaster. But hell is just beginning. Japan's hot and humid summer has just begun.
I hope this blog section doesn't end up being filled with articles about spiders.
*A Japanese proverb.It refers to a bad situation getting even worse, like being stung by a bee while crying.
