I don’t want to be a spider

 In my youth, I played a game called Dino Eggs on  the Commodore 64. You were a time traveler who had accidentally given dinosaurs measles. In the game you travel back again to capture eggs and baby dinosaurs and take them to the future to cure them.

You encounter various hazards, including an angry dino mom, but the one I have been thinking of is spiders.

If you are bitten by a spider, your health starts failing and unless you make it to the Time Warp, you devolve into a spider.

I too am devolving.

I can’t do too many things I could do a year ago.

I don’t think I’ll turn into a spider, though I bet Time Master Tim didn’t anticipate that either.
