Oh hell. Emily. It’s OK, you can do this. Just talk to her. Be witty. Charming. Go!
“They’re not spiders. They’ve got six legs.”
…what.
“Sad,” she muttered, and left.
Dave sighed. He’d never get a girl like her. He just wasn’t special. Rubbish at sport, not funny, couldn’t draw anything except the stupid spiders.
On the page, the picture twitched as they began to move, crawling over the struts and platforms.
Dave turned the paper over in disgust. He couldn’t even make his sketches keep still. No-one else had that problem.

This was from the first picture prompt I’ve been given: XKCD’s Red Spiders 2.
