Charlotte's Cobweb
The Zuckerman farm in Maine had seen better days. The large barn’s original color had long faded into the streaked, bland hues to which all pigments under the sun succumb, even if one summer at a time. Three barn spiders each had set up webs, occupying three corners, with the fourth corner of the edifice left alone, sacrosanct. The three spiders never spoke to each other, instead going about their business of ensnaring, confining, and eating. Their victims came and fell into oblivion, as if never having even been, except for the meals they provided.

Meow and Then
She lived alone with her cats, which is as alone as a person could get. She didn’t even have any worries living with her, like most folks do. Her mortgage had been paid off and she had no bills, so she never received anything in her mailbox that wasn’t junk mail. Her special needs trust was managed by a trustee who took care of the mundane costs of living, such as her utilities and phone bill, so the trustee, besides making sure the property taxes and phone were paid, didn’t do very much to earn his $800 each month.
