Anansi
The first experience I had with Neil Gaiman was an audiobook of "Anasi Boys", and I loved it.
I then proceeded to read "American Gods" and understood why Clive Barker, my first love of fiction, enjoyed his art.
The issue is the dreams I have been having, as well as the reality I have been having.
I dreamt of spiders crawling on me, and not reacting in a negative manner. I enjoyed the spider creeping across my chest and arms and could see the features of each spider vividly.
The next morning, my 3 year old son noticed two spiders perched on seperate webs, about 10 feet above my front porch between the two Crepe Myrtles that framed our front door. These spiders were fat, and by the next day they were gone.
I haven't seen these spiders since, but an unusual wave of good luck has befallen me, and I think I am going to write a story about.
Let me know what you think...

The spider's crawling on you,was you withdrawing from alcohol at the time because if you were i had the same thing.

Neil Gaiman is very much one of the best story-tellers of our time.

Your mod powers extend about as far as the report button, don't they?
Whenever I use the report button I like to write a little note, I go, "Hey there, I'm not sure which one of y'all will answer this, but I think of y'all equally, so that's okay. I'm drinking a cup of tea, would you like some? Hahahah, that's funny. Of course I wouldn't be able to give you some tea over the internet, that would be impossible. Anyway, I hope you're well and good. I'm going to watch some episodes of Dexter now, oh, and also, you know that Ironman dude, he's annoying me. Cut off his fingers or something? Thanks, hope you're well. And if you're a lady, hope you're bosoms are swollen and ripe." That's what I write whenever I use the report button.
Agreed. I'm a huge fan of Gaiman. In fact he is one of the major reasons I write. You should definitely check out 'Smoke and Mirrors' and 'Fragile things' both short story collections by him. My favorite short story that I've read is called 'Other People' and is in Fragile Things.

While waiting to be interviewed for a job, I entered a store that was named Borders. The temptaion to buy Murakami, Eggers, Elephants on Acid, Fragile Things, The Echo Maker, All of McCarthy's collection, and the Illustrated life of Pi took over my nervous system, but I refrained and called my buddy at the store where I had been fired from exactly a month ago.
if you geniuses could take this somewhere, I would be impressed, political statement or not.

This could easily become a short story. Right off the bat I had a few ideas in mind, but it's not my story to tell. So good luck, I hope it turns out well.
