It's dark, cold, and musty. There is old machinery lying around, rusting, and discarded tools lie on the ground. Cobwebs are everywhere. The rock walls are damp, and a trickle of water can be heard coming from somewhere off in the dark.
abandoned mine, Abandoned
bat
spider
I am a blind spider weaving crooked webs. I use my other senses to navigate. I eat flies and other insects. I live in a farmhouse on the outskirts of the nearby village.
Me too!  How many bugs do you think you can catch in the mine tonight? There got to be a plentiful amount of bugs to chew on down here! You bet!  Way better than the farmhouse! I wonder how long this mine as been abandoned for. Looks old!  Many of the cobwebs aren't even mine. You say so? I thought you'd been down here awhile now! I wonder what happened to the rest of your kind.  Maybe they got eaten by another spider?  Happens sometimes. You eat your own kind? Blast! Well, I eat the babie bats sometimes too. But that's cz they wont shut up. That is one way to do it!  I have hundreds of babies each year myself, sometimes it is easiest just to eat the most aggravating five or six. How else would be get any sleep!  Exactly!  And to think the humans criticize our parenting methods. Human, yuk. Thats why I hide down in cave. To be away from those batty things!
