She clearly needed some extra nutrition. The next day, I bought a live rooster, planning to make her some nourishing chicken soup. But when I took the knife to the bathroom to butcher it, the rooster was gone! And the bathroom was thick with spiderwebs, like a scene straight out of a horror movie, or a giant spider’s nest.It felt like spiders were suddenly everywhere. First my dreams, now the bathroom. But I kept the house spotless – how could there be so many webs? As I wondered, I noticed a puddle of feathers on the floor, some with skin still attached. But the chicken meat itself had simply vanished.
“Was this chicken… eaten by a spider?”I shook my head immediately. Impossible. A spider big enough to kill a rooster would have to be the size of two hands, and there’s no such thing in the world. But where did the chicken meat go? I was about to ask Chloe when I got close enough to smell it: a strong, metallic scent of blood coming from her mouth!A flicker of panic crossed Chloe’s face. She quickly explained, “David, my gums are bleeding, pretty badly. I was just about to get some medication for inflammation.
“Ah, that made sense. Pregnancy was hard, women developed all sorts of issues. My heart went out to her, and my worries about the chicken completely vanished. The vanished chicken remained an unsolved mystery.I cleaned the bathroom’s spiderwebs thoroughly, but found no spiders. Where were these webs even coming from?
It wasn’t just the bathroom. Lately, there were webs on the bed, the couch, even in the kitchen – and lots of them. This had never happened before. It felt like ever since Chloe got pregnant, one strange thing after another kept happening.That night, Chloe stared at me, her eyes unblinking, swallowing constantly.”David,” she purred, “you smell so good. I just want to devour you.”I thought she was trying to be intimate, so I bit back my urge and said, “Sweetheart, we’re in a delicate stage right now.
What if we hurt the baby? It could lead to a miscarriage, and we don’t want that—AHH!!!”The words were barely out of my mouth when a searing pain shot through my neck. Chloe was sinking her teeth deep into my neck, a monstrous growl rumbling from her throat. I cried out in agony, scrambling away from Chloe and clamping my hand over my neck. I flipped on the light and gasped in horror – my neck was bleeding, and she had nearly bitten a chunk of flesh right out of it!
