This is a birthday gift for Anamary Armygram. Although a drabble, it is not part of our ongoing switch--I will post that piece tomorrow as usual.

“But she adores me, Illya. Haven’t you noticed how she walks over whenever I enter the room?”

“If you know what’s good for you, you’ll stay away from her. She’s poisonous through and through. ”

“I think you’re just jealous, Tovarisch.” Still, Napoleon backed off from the terrarium. The leggy blonde spider did cut a kind of menacing figure, now that he looked at it.

“Do you name your lab animals?” he asked as Illya swiftly removed the terrarium’s lid and tossed in a cricket.

“Not usually, but I made an exception for this one.”

“Oh?”

“Yes. I call her Angelique.”

I love it!! I met a nasty specimen last week on holiday. Perfect choice of name for her too!

Hahaha! Good one. :D

I wrote a story about a new spider being named after Napoleon.

It's called Araneus Watanabe-Solo

"Come into my parlor said the spyder to the spy..." Yep! It works! Great job! Love this drabble! (Hmmm...maybe I have the makings of a story with that line, you think? LOL!)
