The Devil's Nest, Tuesday Evening

Well, there was a spider on the floor. Given that spiders were Max's third-biggest fear after public speaking and drag queens with no makeup on, he could currently be found sitting on the bar, shrilly directing Tiny to go after it with a broom.

About halfway through this ordeal, which was accentuated by the DJ playing eighties pop hits, Max's phone began to ring, which added yet another eighties pop hit to the mix. Normally Max would be delighted to sing along to this kind of musical disaster, but right now he was preoccupied with getting this spider out of his life and out of the bar.

When Tiny finally got it, Max demanded to see the spider's dead body to verify that it was, in fact, no longer among the living before he allowed his fellow bartender to go flush it down the toilet. As Tiny headed to do just that, with a muttered insult under his breath, Max yelped, "I heard that!" and resolved to give Tiny the cold shoulder for the rest of the night.
