6 Nightmares Ahead (1/2)

I start looking around to see if any of the spiders are still alive. Can't really tell if they are alive from just looking though, so I pick up a forelimb that has seems to have been twisted off. Its suprising light and has a sharp claw at the end of it so it'll make a great poking tool.... This will probably take a while....

-a few hours later-

”1087”

I counted the last corpse that I'm willing to poke. Im not even a fifth of the way through all the corpses but I'm giving up. How is there not a living one out of all of these? Maybe this pile has been here for a long time?

I also checked out the surroundings thanks to being able to see in the dark. The room is in the shape of the dome. It's a couple dozen meters high by a few hundred wide.

A small human torso sticks out of the top of the spider's head, but it seems to be covered in a purple grime. There is a small book being grasped to her chest.

I figure its really important.... Should I take it? I edge closer until I'm right next to it's spider head. Ehhh, it's looking at me.... those shiny beady eyes.... I know it's dead.... well I hope its dead.... Should make sure.... If its not, well I'm scewed.... I stab one of its 8 eyes and....

.....It popped.... A dark purple goo starts to ooze down its head.... Gross....
