Spiders that do not spin webs end up carrying their young on their back. Of course, you would not want me to carry anything because you carry nothing. As a result, you have nothing. You weigh nothing.
Spiders spend most of their lives hiding. Why would such a powerful predator have such groundless fears?
Flies, on the other hand, do not hide. They live short lives, they don’t plan far ahead, and they carry nothing. And so, as their name suggests, they can fly.
A spider could join a fly if she carried two wings instead of eight legs. But, she can’t force wings out of her body, even if she believes it’s the right thing to do.
The closest she’s ever come to flying was in her juvenile days as a spiderling. Since then, she’s grown and shed so many skins and has been left vulnerable a countless number of times. Her success and size are proof of the number of times she’s been left alone and defenseless.
But, let’s not worry over worthless scenarios. Everyone knows that spiders would never join flies because they eat them. And, I know that female spiders eat their mates.
And I’ll be damned if I let myself have any less resolve and strength than a spider.
