It is my opinion that spiders should be banished to Room 101 - the world would most likely be a better place without them. I am not arachnophobic‚ as I am not afraid of scorpions or other arachnids‚ but I am absolutely terrified of spiders. Merely the thought of them fills me with dread and causes me to shudder.

He could only see three of the walls‚ and the ceiling‚ if he craned his neck upwards‚ but that was enough to make him very uneasy indeed.
