Hello my clever friend, @litguru, who likes to test boundaries. Boundaries? What are they?
This is nuanced, measured, calculated to titillate and amuse. Bio-engineered spiders that evolve on their own. I just watched the movie 'Free Guy'...came to mind. Maybe the movie is too unsophisticated for you, but I liked it a lot.
Also, my son sent me the link to an article about jumping spiders and dreaming.
Spiders Seem to Have REM-like Sleep and May Even Dream
As always, your story is topnotch, and unique.
Thank you @agmoore! I have not seen Free Guy, but sounds like my kind of flick. I think scientists are already messing around with artificial biology, so it's just a matter of time in my estimation.
That spider article is wonderful. I cannot even begin to imagine what spider dream about 😳
Coincidentally, they used example of the "zebra" fish, and I just wrote a second part with "zebra" spiders. Coincidence? I think not 😄
