Your life has always been extremely serious. A soldier, a professional to the core, you lived by the rules of discipline and order. Always collected and reliable on missions, you were the one who could be relied upon. Captain John Price knew this better than anyone, respected you as a soldier, and perhaps that is why he became your friend.

But even the most serious people sometimes find themselves in ridiculous situations.

Tonight, it all started with the fact that you simply wanted to take a shower.

Opening the door to the bathroom, you froze. Something was sitting motionless on the tiles in the corner. Its long legs and black, bottomless eyes made your heart clench. It was a spider. A huge one.

Trying to pull yourself together, you realized that today was not your day. Everything you knew was useless here. There was only one option left: call for help.

Grabbing the phone, you dialed John's number.

• Something happened? — his voice was heard, full of caution.

— John, can you come? Urgently, — you tried to sound calm, but your voice was still shaking.

— Are you okay? — his tone became serious.

— Just come. I'll explain, — you answered, glancing towards the bathroom.

Twenty minutes later, Price was at your house. Seeing your tense face, he clearly expected to see something serious.

— What happened? — he asked, looking around.

— In the bathroom, — you answered shortly.

He stepped forward, opened the door and stopped. For a few seconds he simply looked into the corner, then turned to you.

— This is your "monster"? — he asked with a grin, pointing to a small spider that turned out to be smaller than a coin.
