    Summary

    It was a normal day at The Spiral. The morning regulars had come and gone, leaving the little shop to it's quiet peace. The door opened, it's bell alerting them to a customer. A glance at the clock showed it was time to greet Sasha. Within seconds, Tim was leaned on the counter, smiling in a way Tim thought suave.

    "Good afternoon, gorgeous, come here often?" Tim asked, complete with brow waggles.

    Sasha rolled her eyes, albeit fondly, "Oh, just about every day. There's this really cute baker who works here. You haven't seen him have you? Oh! There you are, Martin!"

    "Hi Sasha." Martin chuckled. His eyes slid to the figure trailing behind her. The man had dark, curly hair, a myriad of scars, a deep, thoughtful look and a wiry frame that looked like he hadn't eaten well in ages.

    "Oh, right." Sasha took a side step, "This is my colleague, Jonathan Sims."

    Summary

    The strings wrapped him in their web, starting from his chest and twisting and fluttering around him.

    There were friends at the ends of these strings, Mr. Spider had told him as a child. He just had to follow the strings where they lead.
    There were victims at the ends of these strings, The Mother had told him. They would be delicious.

    With curiosity, Jon reached out and let the bright red string curl around his finger freely. The most beautiful, he thought. It tightened around him. In response, Jon gave it a gentle tug.

    Instantly, his vision was overtaken.

    Tea, made perfectly with milk and a dash of sugar and a lot of love. A deep, deep loneliness. A lie on a resume. White fog, dusty shelves full of documents, a sound like wet pasta. Fear, fear, fear. Jon’s face, all eight of his eyes open, gazing sharply at something behind him.

    Love, love, love. So much love.

    A gunshot.

    “Martin!” Jon gasped, coming to. “Who the hell is Martin?”

    Or:

    Jon doesn't escape Mr. Spider, and becomes a child avatar of the Web. This changes some things, but not others.

    Now complete!

    Summary

    Jon takes another breath. He can’t bear to look at Martin’s face as he says it; he fixes his gaze on the far corner bedpost instead. “I . . . don’t want to have sex with you. I don’t want to have sex with anyone.”
