It's dark outside. Quite dark. No moon even. And our streetlights aren't that bright. So, I went out to check the mail. There was quite a nice stack. I couldn't see into the back of the box, so I reached my hand in to make sure there were no other papers in there. I felt something fuzzy. I wasn't sure what it was, but I decided I didn't want to find out. I went inside and started opening mail. The last thing I opened was a catalog, folded in half.
I unfolded it to find a *HUGE*, *GIANT*, *FUZZY* black *SPIDER* inside… with big white spots on it's head. I quickly refolded the catalog and threw it on the table. Then I killed the spider. A lot. Like… a really, really, whole lot. I must have hit it (through the magazine) at least 15 times.
I'm not sure what the catalog was for, but I don't really care any more. From now on, I check the mail in the daylight.
