Simple Stuff

Arachne-Lad was calmly swinging throughout the city.

The wind was fair, the sun was warm, and the people were all going about their day.

All seemed peaceful, but Ashlad did not want to jinx it.

" Help! " yelled a man.

" It looks like I did not have to jinx it, " said Arachne-Lad, as he answered the call.

A robber had just stolen some money from a burger stand.

The robber ran with all haste. Adrenaline pumping through his veins. A mix of pride and joy beating within his chest.

A few seconds later. The robber was now hanging from a lamp post, covered in Arachne-Lad's web.

" Here you go, sir " said Ashlad, as he personally returned the money.

" Thanks, kid "

Arachne-Lad bowed humbly. And as he was about to swing away, a growling could be heard from his roaring stomach.

" Damn… haven't had anything to eat… " said Ashlad, as he laid his hand upon his stomach.

Arachne-Lad heard a whistling. He turned around, and quickly caught the burger thrown at him.

" It is on the house " said the burger stand man with a smile.

Ashlad knew better than to reject this kindness. So he simply said;

" Thank you, sir "

" No, kid, thank you "
