August 14, 2004 was one of those extremely super hot summer days when the spider aliens attacked. Anthony, Sabrina, and I were at the mall trying to cool off in the air-conditioned environment when several people ran by screaming in sheer horror.

Naturally curiosity kicked in, so all three of us went upstairs to where people were flocking from, but stopped when the sound of breaking glass and savage snarls reached our ears from a pizza restaurant down the hall.
