Shell, as always, I love the way you craft your words. You may not know it, but I believe that you have outlined in your piece the reason that we write: to exorcise our demons...including fear.

I have a neighbor orb-weaver spider that hangs over my balcony. I named her Skultula. She's massive and ugly, but ever since she moved in here, we've had less than a tenth of the bugs we had finding their way in before. Spiders may not be pleasant to look at, but they are so nice to have around.

Hi Shell. Cute read about getting over your fears! I commend you but can also relate to my own fears. I cannot get over the mice/rat thing! hahaha
