The little spider didn't know where he was anymore. He'd crawled around without his family for quite some time and he was having a nice time jumping from low hanging branches and munching on the little insects he caught unaware. However, after some time of doing this, he realized he was horribly bored. He wanted some friends. What good were bugs to bunch on when you didn't have any friends? None at all, he thought. So, he moved around his legs and tried to smell anyone that might be nearby. That was when he found the border. Clearly someone didn't think he should cross it. He wanted to know why. His thoughts had long since moved on from his brothers and sisters and his mother. Last time he'd seen them, they hadn't been in such a good situation which was why he'd fled. Some sort of big animal was trying to disrupt their web and he wasn't sure what happened. He had thought they'd all be behind him but they were nowhere to be found.

The little boy tried not to think about that too much, though. No, that was too sad. He knew how fragile his kind was but he wasn't going to be like that. His family wasn't like that. No, everything was fine. He was sure of it. He just needed to focus on having fun and finding friends. "Hellooooo?" he held out the word, allowing it to dip in tone and pitch as he did so. "Is anybody here?" His tiny voice seemed to somehow stretch beyond his tiny form. "I'm Matty and I'm looking for some friends."
