Like that one guy said: Good writers borrow, great writers steal. Welcome to the place where all things have been lifted, looted, and otherwise pilfered…Remember, possession is 9/10s of the law.

I write dark fiction that my mother hates. I also review mysteries for criminalelement.com. When not writing fiction/reviews, I'm creating plays at Springs Ensemble Theatre in Colorado Springs.
The unnoticed part is.. you addressed spider as a male and fly as female when it is not so always..
Good point! My choice was purely grammatical. I was going to skip pronouns all together for this one but writing “the spider” and “the fly” cost me too many words, so I arbitrarily assigned gendered pronouns to differentiate the two.
