Hello! 

 My name is not important, I'm just a small little bug.

 What is important is that the world we know is covered with a web and that the spiders hunt us constantly.

The web spreads over everything.

There are small webs made my small spiders and bigger webs made by bigger spiders. they're invisible webs. and there are webs so sticky that just touching it is a death sentence.

 and in the heavens there's the massive strands that give structure to it all.

All I've ever known is this world.

I'm not alone, not for the most part.

 but there are others here who managed to survive through this massive web they all have their own unique techniques.

Some are small and can weave through all the webs without even touching them.

 and some are big and strong enough to waltz right through the majority of them.

Sometimes there is a group of us bugs trying to clear out an area free of the web.

 but with every string pulled and cut alerted the spiders to their plans.

 and the spiders came down from on high and either wipe them out with one brief motion or slowly pick them off one by one. Sometimes they have fun with it and scare the group to where they stop working before retreating and letting the group gain their confidence again before coming back to scare them and repeating that over and over again until the group stops trying to cut the web before slowly wrapping them in a great cocoon that once it's finished will slowly squeeze or suffocate them.

Sometimes I see a large bug hunting down the spiders or a clever bug tricking the spiders to get trapped in their own threads.

 but sometimes I see the spiders pretending to be a bug before striking at the right moment. or maybe they don't and they just slowly make the other bugs fight amongst each other trying to figure out who the spider is until the group is no more.

The spiders are so big and powerful sometimes that even the hunter bugs can't fight them off.

The other day I found a praying mantis using his skills to hunt but what he didn't realize was that the flower he stood of was a even bigger spider in disguise And that the Mantis had already sprung the spider's trap and couldn't escape even if he knew it. The only reason why he wasn't dead was because the spider was waiting to make it dramatic.

Another time I saw a spider convince a bug that the bug was The Spider and the spider was a bug. Sometimes the bugs Set Fire to the web and try to kill the spiders but the spiders always win.

 sure that area will be free of the web for some time. but those who are free of the spiders are unaware that there are spiders among them, controlling them, in a dispute for territory.

You may think why the bugs even still alive if the spiders have their web stretching across the globe.

 it's because the spiders aren't stupid. if there were no bugs left to eat then the spiders would starve.

Sometimes I see a group of bugs living by the spider's rules in order to be fed, not realizing the spider is going to eat them when they are soft and fat.

There are a few places that the web doesn't reach but those places are wild and dangerous and believe it or not these spiders do provide some protection like a farmer over his flock.

But I am not some livestock, or least I don't want to be.

I hear that sometimes the bugs train in order to be able to survive without the spiders feeding them.

So I myself train hoping that one day I can escape the spider's web and flee.

Though I know these few places that are free of the web won't last forever and with every passing year the web grows larger. 

The spiders are even Trying to extend their web into the ocean To spread their territory and to feed on the fish.

Soon everything will be controlled by the spiders and there'll be no Escape.
