The Red Spot
An urban legend

While Ruth slept, a spider crawled across her face. It stopped for several minutes on her left cheek, then went on it's way to her pillow.

  "What is that red spot on my cheek?" Ruth asked her mother one morning.

"It looks like a spider bite," her mother said. "It will go away. Just don't scratch it."

Soon the red spot grew into a small red boil and Ruth couldn't help but scratch it.
 "Look at it now," Ruth said. "It's getting bigger. It's sore."

"That happens sometimes," her mother said. "It's coming to a head."

In a few days the boil was even larger and it was so painful she couldn't even touch it.
 "Look at it now," Ruth said. "It hurts and it's ugly."

"We'll have a doctor look at it," her mother said. "Maybe it's infected." But the doctor could not see Ruth until the next day.

That night Ruth took a hot bath. As she soaked herself, the boil burst. Out poured a swarm of tiny spiders from the eggs their mother had laid on her cheek.
