Remember the Spider?

The spider watches you from inside the cave, wary of the sunlight outside. You smile; at least you won't be spider chow. The spider seems to read your mind though, and chuckles.

She says, "You may be safe... For now, at least. But, you seem to have forgotten the night..."

You gulp. You DID forget the night. At night, there is no sun. And if there is no sun, there is no sunlight. And if there is no sunlight, the spider can just crawl right out of her cave and sink her fangs right into you.

She senses your unease, and chuckles once more.

"That's right, tubby. As soon as the sun goes down, you're mine. It'll be hours before that happens, but... I can wait. And, in the meantime, you'll grow even larger. Meaning more belly to sink my fangs into. Yeah, enjoy your 'safety,' fat-boy, but come nightfall, it's dinnertime."

You shiver in fear, or jiggle, as it were. You can't run, or even walk. You're stuck, and nothing can save you. You hope that someone will happen upon you and help you out.

Ten hours pass, and the sun begins to set. Nobody's come around, and you've doubled in size, the spider cackling all the while. The "deadline" for the lifting of your curse passed nearly half a day ago; you're stuck with your curse forever.

On the "bright" side, though, forever probably won't be much longer. The sun's going down, and the spider laughs maniacally.

You've got about 8 minutes before you're spider chow. Will anyone come to your rescue?
