I'M SO SCARED!!!

My biggest fear in life is probably spiders. I absolutely hate them. Just the thought of their long, hairy legs or their multiple, beady eyes sends chills down my spine. Just today I was sitting in my car next to my friend and she suddenly screamed “Spider!” and flicked one of the atrocious creatures at me. I thought she flicked it on the floor and so I calmed down until I looked down and I had an eight-legged bug crawling up my arm. I flipped my lid. I immediately jumped and shook it off my arm. In my frantic spazzing, I killed the poor thing, but I didn’t care, it was off my arm. I then resulted to hyperventilation for the following 10 minutes. I really don’t know why these creatures scare me so much. I mean, it’s not like they’ve ever done anything to me before. In fact, they help our planet by killing flies and other tiring pests. I’ve actually tried to get over this phobia I have but nothing I try helps. I guess I will forever be a slave to my arachnophobia.
