Arachnophobia

Linda isn't at all afraid of bugs, snakes or reptiles.  She actually had a pet Boa named Rocky until he got too big and graduated from eating mice to rats.  For some reason, feeding the snake a live mouse did not bother her, but the rats looked too much like pets to be his dinner.  Yesterday, a giant winged bug that was creepy-looking flew onto her shirt and she just shook it off. The guy she was talking to at the time jumped back and screeched a little.  For the first time today, she found a spiderish-looking bug in the bathroom that made her all queasy. She said it was as big as a grape! She killed it dead, but it was full of gross looking gel and a brown liquid that got all over the floor.  Its juice even squirted onto the cabinet when she squished it.  Ugh!! She finished cleaning it up, but now does not want to go into the hall bathroom anymore. 

"Is it all the way dead??  You sure??"
