I Killed a Spider

I am guilty I know I killed a spider. A miniscule tiny aspect of life moving about its business in my space. It fled right it fled left it jumped up it came down. My godly presence was everywhere like a black night. I smashed its plastic skeleton its fluid internals popped outside. The poor thing just curled and retracted like a coil spring. Then tears rolled out, from my iron heart. I thought; Was it worth whisking away life to protect this insensible fear?
