Story #4.
Red Spot.
From Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.
While Ruth slept, a spider crawled across her face.
It stopped for several minutes on her left cheek, then went on its way.
"What is this red spot on my cheek?" she asked her mother the next day.
"It looks like a spider bite" her mother replied. "It will go away, just don't scratch it."
Soon, the small red dot turned into a small red boil.
"Look at it now!" Ruth said, "it's getting bigger!"
"That sometimes happens" her mother answered, "it's coming to a head."
In a few days, the boil was even larger.
"Look at it now," Ruth said, "it hurts and it's ugly."
"We'll have the doctor look at it," her mother responded.
But the doctor could not see Ruth until the next day.
That night, Ruth took a bath. As she soaked herself, the boil burst.
Out poured a swarm of tiny spiders from the eggs their mother laid in her cheek.
