Framing Device - Chapter 1: The Arachophobe

>It is not the spider that must die, but your fear. You are afraid of the spider, which gives it strength. But you can control the spider, bend it to your will. Yet your will is weak, and at most you can tell it to back away. You will learn to command, or you will Perish. But do not sit in the corner feeling sorry for yourself, as it will only make you feel worse, and accomplish nothing.
...But if killing the spider is still too much, force it to sleep. Getting some rest will do you good.
