It would have been nice to curl up with a good book hot cup of tea and her dog magpie! But that was not the case Terry had to make a bit of money. She was already late with a few bills and had just one more week before the landlord put a evict sign on her door.
It was a rat hole she lived in the shower didn’t work and the toilet seat was broken so bad Terry had to rap it up with duct tape.
On the brighter side, she felt the place was dry and cozy in a strange sort of way.
Other than that it was a place she felt would have better been used as a dump.
Terry shouted out to every car that came by that looked like it may have a guy looking for a good time. However, no one was taking the hint that she was looking for a party!
Terry thought what the hell are these jerks all with ladies or what! No one was interested! Terry knew it was not her after all she was what the guys called hotness!
Long blond hair great shape and thin but not too thin. Thunder rumbled up in the sky and lightning flashed the rain was starting to be a downpour!
Terry stomped her cold feet and cussed out loud! Oh great, this is all I need who am I kidding? No one wants a date tonight!
The wet weather drove the creature out it was like a call for the hunt!
The hairy being loved the cold rain as it ran through its long greasy coarse black hair!
It lived in the dark most of the time and usually kept quiet as it lessened to the activity up above it on the busy streets.
It never hunted in the open. For reasons of its sheer size and hiding was its best weapon for a quick grab of the homeless. Or an unsuspecting person who was seeking shelter in the dark.
Many of the street people knew of it as to say they knew of something snagging people that lived in the subways. However, that being said they did not know what that something was.
The homeless talked about it in hushed tones and nightmarish stories as if it were a ghost or monster from hell itself.
The fact was in truth it was a masterpiece of evolution a leftover of the past a great being from millions of years ago! A being that every region of the world had spoken about in myth and legend.
Its long hairy eight legs stretched out five feet in length.
Its huge black abdomen was as round as cement truck back which had four-foot spinnerets poking out its rear end. Well, the front of its body was a huge hair-covered flat armored shield hard as thick bone. Perched on that were black three-foot-long fangs that were capable of ejecting paralyzing venom in its victims!
However, the most menacing thing about this creature was its twelve huge black orbed eyes that could see in many specters of light.
For all of the great arachnids, menacing looks that separated it most were its intelligence and problem-solving abilities.
In a word, the thing was very smart! It could reason out problem-solving equations to get around this new world it had awakened to.
It knew staying in the shadows and hunting only those that would not be missed would ensure its survival in this new world. It kept its steal strong webbing high and out of the way from being spotted.
However, its only downfall was that when it rained a deep growing need would force it out of the shadows for the hunt! The vibrations of the earth under its long legs sent shock waves through its ever being.
It was a natural thing in its past to do that the creature had held in check for so long out of fear of discovery! Yet this night was different it was dark wet and the sounds above had been quieted except for the occasional shouting of one voice that vibrated along with every sensitive hair on its body! Inside it a deep dark hunger started to build. It was going to venture out!
Terry shouted once more at a passing car! She did not know what horror was just under her feet!
