Tina C. says this doodle was inspired by my Week 4 Clarion West story (about giant spiders):



I think the relevant story passage is:

"The Spiders, though, the Spiders don't look like anything. I mean, they're black and they walk around on eight legs, that's why we call them Spiders, instead of trying to pronounce whatever hissy word they use to describe themselves, but that's the extent of the similarity between them and anything as banal as a real spider like we have back on Earth. The size and shape of the bodies, that whole system of seven mouths, it baffles me. Just looking at them sometimes, it's like the way the world looks when you've had too much whiskey and not enough sleep."
