It's getting late and I've been on this expedition for hours now. Deep inside, it doesn't feel as if I've been making any progress exploring this cave system at all. Maybe it's just the monotony of the whole situation, but it just feels as if I've gone in circles this entire time. Frankly I don't even know what I'm looking for on this mission, and so far I've seen nothing of note in this cave, living or not. I don't think it'd be too dangerous if I try and lay down before I pass out from exhaustion, I just need somewhere to sleep so I don't wake up with an aching back...

The passage I'm in has a bunch of old and dusty cobwebs, while it clearly isn't luxury, it'll keep me warm and comfortable for the rest of the night.

Tucking into one of the piles of webs, I start to hear skittering coming from up above me. Grabbing my flashlight and pointing it up towards the ceiling I spot what's making the noise. A huge black spider with eight long spindly legs, a spattering of red eyes and two huge fangs stares at me.

"Ooh, a human, wonderful, I haven't seen one of your kind in years!" she laughs, slowly beginning to lower herself from the roof and landing in front of me. Terrified for my life, I start to struggle as she approaches me, but the cobweb is too strong, and I feel myself slowly get stuck. "What's wrong? I just want to talk, human!" she laughs again, "What's with the hurry?"

Climbing onto me, she begins to slowly wrap a web around my legs, "That'll hold you in place..."

The hairs on her body start to tickle me, causing unpleasant sensations to run down my spine, "Now, human, what were you doing in my cave?" she asks with a sinister tone.
