The Wee Arachnid

An exceedingly wee arachnid scaled the interior of a hollow cylindrical vessel, open at both ends, whose function it is to transport liquid precipitation earthward in a controlled manner. Subsequently, and not too surprisingly, a violent atmospheric disturbance developed while the bipartite arachnid was in transit, and a great amount of condensed hydrous vapor descended to the roof in the form of prolate spheroids. Said globules, upon contact with the shingles, entered with one accord the gutter and, urged on by the relentless tuggings of the curved spacetime in the vicinity of the orb on which this scenario takes place, were conducted earthward by the aforesaid aqueduct. Naturally, the creature's gripping members were no match for the torrents descending from above and he was flung headlong from the conduit, and lay stunned in a puddle amid other ejecta.

Presently, the meteorological tumult subsided, and Earth's primary was no longer occulted, and the infrared radiation therefrom caused the standing puddles to evaporate. So the arachnid, brushing off assorted flotsam, squaring all of his shoulders and showing his mettle, he recommenced his trek, confident that such an uproar, weatherwise, would not recur in the immediate future.
