Rating: G
Warnings: none
Summary: “We have had some dramatic entrances and exits upon our small stage at Baker Street,”


“Come closer into my parlour,” said the Spider to the Fly.

“Why?”

“To place your betsss.”

“Betzzz?”

“If the visiting humans will faint. If they will cry. If they will shout.”

“If I win?”

“Your hearts desiresss.”

Fly considered that short list. “If I lose?”

The spider shuffled something under its abdomen with its long legs. “We discussss that later.”

Fly away fassst, little Fly. Never bet with a creature which has more legsss than you do.

The millipede might be ok, but this is good advice for other flyzzzz.

Spider's been known to tip the cards by dropping down to nip a client (causing a shout).

Oh, yes, she cheats. There is no hope for the fly if it gets too close.

Ah, the Moriarty of the arachnid world!

I've a feeling this spider might soon be falling off the web and into the abyss - while the fly goes travelling around Hertfordshire and Surrey for a day, leaving his companion Dr. Fly to mourn him during this lengthy period.

Oh goodness, right in the feels there!
Maybe call it Webbingbach?
