Jared was 17 years old and hated spiders. Not only did he kill them when he saw one, but he thought of creative ways to kill them slowly and painfully.

Once every long number of years or so, God himself ( don't be offended if you are Christian, this is only a fictional story ) who created the world and everything just to watch for his amusement, would do something that goes against the laws of physics whenever he got bored. Nobody else would ever know about it except for the victim.

Jared seemed like the perfect mortal for his idea. Since he hated spiders so much, he decided to trap Jared's soul into the body of a spider and tell him how to get out.

Jared woke up the next morning to find himself right next to his own body. He noticed he was inside of a spider body and went completely numb with fear. He then decided to stay calm. He tried to move. He wasn't used to using all 8 legs to walk and he ended up stumbling until he fell off the bed. He stared at his sleeping human body for a while, wondering how the crap he was trapped being a spider.

For a moment he thought of killing himself. He could learn to walk and when he was able to, he could crawl up into the bathroom sink and drown himself. Even though the bathroom was right next to his room, the door was closed and he might get stuck if he tried going under the door. The front door of his room was open. Maybe he could crawl into the fireplace of the living room and burn himself. Since he was a spider, he couldn't feel that much pain. Falling off the bed didn't really hurt that much.

Suddenly an orb of light appeared in front of him.

"Hello Jared" said the orb of multicolor light.

"I'm god, and I have put you here inside the spider body. Also, I am not the Christian god you believed in. Sadly, I'm not really such a loving god. I just like to cause misery for my own amusement. Just like you mess around with spiders for fun. That's why I chose you for this."

Jared was extremely confused and sad at the same time. He thought about how happy he was believing in Jesus and stuff but he got over it quickly. He wondered if he was put inside the spider body as punishment for killing so many.

Since god could read his mind, he quickly replied.

"Oh no Jared, this is no punishment. You can think of it as more of a "game". The way to get back to your human body and wake up from your coma is by finding a red ball of light and going inside of it. Then you will be sent to the gate. The gate between life and death where you will be given a spear to fight off the final boss. I bet you can guess what it is."

"A giant spider?"

Asked Jared.

"Yes. A giant spider. You'll be a small human while you fight him though."

"Awesome..."

Jared thought for a second

"What do you mean "final boss"? Will there be others?"

"Of course!"
Said god.

"What fun would it be to watch without a challenge? There will be many obstacles and other bugs I've brainwashed to try to kill you. You can also talk to other spiders. You'll need their help for this. Remember, I'm not doing this because I have anything against you, I'm just bored is all."

Then the orb disappeared. Jared crawled around the room, looking for a red ball of light. He had a lot of furniture in his room. Maybe he could climb up to the top of his dresser and get a good view of his room to see if there was a red ball of light anywhere.

Jared not only wanted to get back to his human body as soon as possible, but he also was exited to have his final battle with the giant spider. He was already planning his battle strategy in his head for when he fought him. He tried to walk again. He still was pretty slow and not used to moving with a spiders body. Eventually he sort of got the hang of it and moved across the room in front of his couch. From there he could see the mirror that was on top of his dresser. He had pretty good vision in his spider body. He saw himself in the reflection. He was a big hairy spider.

That wasn't good. Any human that saw him would want to kill him immediately. He turned around and tried to shoot out a web. It landed right onto the pillow on the couch. He made it pull himself up at will. Suddenly he turned toward a crack in the corner of the couch. He felt a strange sensation coming from inside the crack. He somehow knew there were other spiders there.

Quickly, he tried to run into the crack, tripping and falling a couple of times but still unable to give up. He made it. In there he saw three spiders.

He didn't know what to do now. The spiders turned toward him and stared at him blankly.

"Hi."

Said one of them casually.

"Good morning"

Jared replied.

"Why are you having trouble walking? Did you get hurt by another species?"

Said one of the spiders

"Well actually, I was wondering if one of you could teach me how to walk."

Said Jared expecting the spiders to laugh at him. The spiders looked at each other, slightly confused.

"Sure."

Said one of the spiders finally after a short moment of awkward silence. The spiders turned out to be pretty friendly.

Four days had passed since then and Jared's human body that was still in a coma had already been taken to the hospital.
Jared had spent the whole time learning how to walk like a spider. He had pretty much got it down by now. He only fell down not very often when he was running at full speed. There was a place in the closet of his room under a bunch of books where a lot of spiders of all shapes and sizes were.
Jared planned on taking out the entire refuge of spiders as soon as he could return to his human body.He met some pretty cool friends there. He even chose one spider to keep alive during his attack since he was ok.
The spiders name was William. All the spiders told him about how god had recently gave all the spiders names. Jared told them that he had also met god but he didn't tell them about how he used to be human.

He figured it would be better not to tell them that he was one of the humans that the spiders seemed to not like very much.
William was Jared's primary tutor in learning how to walk. They eventually became pretty good friends. William was pretty funny for a spider. William had introduced Jared to his "wife" that he had a few hundred children with. While walking through the huge area of books ( which They referred to as the central plaza of refuge spiders ) while talking with William, a small spider would walk by, look at William and be like "oh hi dad" every once in a while. Sometimes they would make small talk with one of Williams children.

He hasn't left the central plaza because of certain rumors spreading around about a new bunch of strange creatures roaming around, killing any spider that left their home. Jared peaked outside of the edge of central once to see them. Outside, walking around and hiding in the carpet were a bunch of scorpions.

"So that's what's scaring the other spiders"

Said Jared. Luckily, Jared had a plan.

To be continued.
