Jane is lying in bed. She cannot sleep. She was alone for years. And now, she is in bed with an amazing man she met in a bar the other day. She turns towards the man. She watches him. He has broad shoulders. He has a hairy back, but she likes it. She would like to wake him up to do what they so much like to do together. She notices a brown spot on his back. It is the size of a coin. It looks like a birthmark. She would like to kiss it, but she doesn’t want to wake him up by doing so. Suddenly, the birthmark moves. The middle of it pops open, and some yellow juice flows out of it. She watches as small spiders come out of the birthmark and walk down his back and onto the sheet. She catches them and crushes them in her palm before they could go away. When they all come out, her hand is full of dead spiders. She gets out of the bed and goes to the bathroom to get rid of them. When she comes back, she wakes him up.
