A Midnight Dream

Once upon a midnight dream, forever ago so it seems. There lived a princess with spiders in her dreams. They frightened her. Their many legs and many eyes. How they moved and how they spied. 'What could they want from me?' She wondered most. Still the princess was taught not to judge what she did not know. So, She decided to make the most of them as their webs began to grow. "We should be friends!" She said to them. "Yes!" The spiders answered as they weaved and wove their webs."Friends to the very end" "Well..." The princess said as her leg stuck to one of their growing webs. "All friends should tell each other truth. If this is what you are to me then tell me, what are you doing?" "We are weaving webs!" The spiders said. "It is how we make our homes." "Homes?" The princess said. "Here inside my head?" "Yes!" All the spiders replied. " Your head is now our home." "We are your friends!" The spiders said."So you will never be alone!" "I do not like your webs so near to me. They catch me in my sleep and,from what I know of spiders; what they catch they keep. So, please.." The princess pleaded."do not make my head your home! It is where I go to think when I want to be alone!" "Alone?!" The spiders said."You will never be alone. Because, we are not leaving here until your skull is bone."
