I was leading a bunch of eighth graders who I know well from the school I sub at through this really gross cave. We were obviously escaping something nasty, because they were all upset, and I kept asking them to be quieter so we wouldn’t be found. I meanwhile was having my own little panic attack because there were these HUGE scorpions in the cave, watching us pass for the most part.
Then we get to this really steep incline, and it’s hard to get up because it’s wet and slippery, so I’m helping the kids go up one by one… when this thing attacks me.
Imagine a scorpion about the size of a cat. Then replace the usual scorpion face (which is fucking scary enough kthx) with just a hole filled with fangs, surrounded by long, shelled… fingers. That have edges on them like sawblades. It just appears out of the shadows by the incline and grabs me with its claws, dragging me away from the kids. I start screaming for them to get out of there, just as it stings me. I woke up just as it was lifting my arm to that creepy mouth and I couldn’t do anything to stop it.
I was so fucking shaky and upset that Chris woke up and had to calm me down from it before I could even try to go back to sleep.
So yeah. I’ll be over here with a huge cup of coffee and with something adorable on, like Fruits Basket. Maybe later when I’m not still so shook up I’ll try and analyze it.
