Alien vs. Predator

Last night as I was getting ready for bed I saw a HUGE spider on the bathroom wall. Biiig scary spider. I debated how to handle it. He was way too big to squish with a piece of toilet paper. And the only large heavy thing to hand was a book that I really didn't want spider guts on. But then I remembered the can of Spider Spray I keep under the kitchen cabinet. Perfect.
The spider was slowly, slowly creeping towards the door jamb, so I had plenty of time. I grabbed the can of insecticide and came back into the bathroom....Nothing. The damn thing was gone.
Reluctantly I turned and started back out. Then, just as I left the bathroom I saw a flurry of motion out of the corner of my eye. The spider actually waited for me to walk by again before he made a break from his hiding spot. It had a strategy! It managed to escape into the dark recesses of the water-heater cabinet, but I think I managed to tag it with the spray before it disappeared.
Until we meet again, creepy spider, until we meet again.

In fact, I think that THEY are the ones who stole my car keys.
Rat bastards!
