          Shivering excessively and crawling along the ground amongst droplets of water, spiders.  They can be hairy with long legs.  I feel nasty goosebumps crawl up my arms.  The children in my class are staring at me and my thoughts go blank.  My teacher gives me a scared look and I see the posters of the gigantic tarantulas behind her on the walls of the bug zoo.  I suddenly feel feel fatigued and lightheaded.  I can't breathe as a student picks up a spider;  handing it to me.  That was it, I was gone, and I saw the world go black around me.  I couldn't even feel the blood dripping out of my lips as I clenched down on my tongue.  My heart rate sped up and my temperature rose several degrees.  I felt scared and filled with fear.  My fear, it was the only thing that brought me crashing to cold floor in a fainted state.  Disgusted with myself and stressed beyond capacity, I was stuck inside my own thoughts.  I could hear somebody calling me and I tried to open my eyes.  With much struggle I looked up and saw my father, "Its okay sweetie, it was just a dream."
