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.
