They Won't Hurt Us (Micro-Fiction Monday)

Every Monday, I post a piece of flash fiction--a story clocking in at 300 words or less. Each story can also be found on my deviantART and Wattpad pages. Enjoy!

"EEEEK!"

"What?! What's wrong?"

"There's a spider in the bathroom!"

"A spider?"

"YES!"

"And...?"

"Go kill it!"

"Me? YOU go kill it!"

"No way! I'm not going anywhere near it!"

"Oh, come on."

"YOU come on! I'm not setting one more foot in that room until it's dead and gone!"

"It won't hurt you."

"GO KILL IT."

"Alright, alright, fine..."

~~

"BILLY! You almost got yourself killed!"

"Did not!"

"Did too! Mom told you not to go where the humans could see you!"

"They're not ALL bad!"

"They came after you with a shoe!"

"Just these ones! The ones who USED to live here didn't care."

"That's a lie! They moved to the house next door."

"And got trampled on the way!"

"It was probably an accident. They wouldn't hurt us--we don't do anything to bother them."

"...I'm still telling Mom."
