A spike of sudden, unidentifiable fear pierces through my murky consciousness. My eyelids shoot up and I flee downstairs and out the door. The cool midnight air calms me with every breath I take, and the quiet neighborhood reassures me of my safety. Problem solved. Except I still need to identify, and hopefully defeat, the cause of the fear. It must have been a nightmare, since I was asleep. Something about bugs? Murderer? Hell? My thought process stops as I spot my cute pet spider. “Hey, Sammy. What are you doing out-” ...How did you get out of your box?
