The Spider

Recently, I thought about the spider. It builds an invisible web to trap unsuspecting prey, so that it can capture them. Once captured, the spider salivates at the sight of its prey struggling, for the prey by itself doesn't satisfy as much as a prey that has fallen. The prey is apprehended, bitten, paralyzed, and finally, the spider sucks the life out of them. It is cruel and merciless by nature, but, it is the business of the spider. Does this make the spider a villain? No. He is just trying to make a living. Humans that use the business of the spider to instantly get what they want from other humans are spiders too. Villain? You make the call.
