Witch Waits For Spider

Ethereal and mysteriously savvy, secretive witch hung out in a web
Waiting to scare the spider, who would be terrified when he realized his fate
Faeries and elves gave her a wide berth, fearful themselves of her powers.
This wily witch intended to turn the spider into a housefly, his worst fear.

My, my...how you have spun this story into a web of intrigue...in only four lines, too!

I was in the mood for something intriguing and dark.

Being a spider ruling as king in his gossamer empire, it is afraid of becoming a housefly to be swatted at ! Ha.... Ha!
