At a later point, I am in the water in the deep end of the pool. I hear one of my cousins yell "Spider!" and turn my head to see the black sinister arachnid approaching my face. It is moving across the top of the water with ease, and my crippling fear grows with every stride. I try my best to propel myself backward through the water to escape the wrath of the horrifying, quarter-sized creature, but can't seem to get enough speed. Just as it is at eye level, treacherously close to meeting my face, I swing out my arm in a last ditch attempt to perhaps splash the spider away....
And instead, I hit my night stand with the back of my hand, rattling everything on it.
I would have added a picture closely resembling my arachnid assailant, but I couldn't bring myself to google "spider." I'm sorry, but the entomophobic can't rifle through spider pictures without having a severe case of the willies.
