Attack of the Killer Spider

Fighting Words Offaly, Birr Library, 15th July 2026.

Mr Racoon awoke from hibernation and went to find his best friend, Mr Mouse. He stood on his hover board and sped over to Mr Mouse's house.

He passed through all the trees and saw deer. As he looked around, he saw a spider's leg poking out from behind a tree. Mr Racoon was so scared that he hovered away as fast as he could.

The spider chased after him and Mr Racoon was trembling with fear! He fell off his hover board and said “OW!”. He tumbled down the hill, ignoring the pain, he was so terrified.

Suddenly, he fell off the cliff and landed on a mossy hill right in front of Mr Mouse's house. Mr Mouse was shocked when he saw Mr Racoon soar through the air and land in front of him.

“Come in for a cup of tea and I will get you all fixed up!” said Mr Mouse.

Mr Mouse's house was made of cheese and it was a square house in shape.

“What happened?” said Mr Mouse.

“I was being chased by my worst fear! A killer spider!” cried Mr Racoon.

“Oh no! I am going to chase him and see what happens!” said Mr Mouse.

Mr Racoon thought to himself that Mr Mouse had many friends but he didn’t. he two friends went back up the hill searching for the spider.

Along the way they met a fish, a fox and a deer who all joined the search. Mr Mouse sees the spider hiding under a bush. He crawls under and a sudden gust of wind raises the dust under the bushes.

“Ahhh ahh aaachooooo!!!” Said Mr Mouse and electricity shoots out of Mr Mouse's nose and lands on the spider.
