The Liberation Of Gabriel King (2007) - Plot & Excerpts
He sure was ugly looking. I didn’t think I could stand having one as a pet, but if I was going to get me any courage, there didn’t seem to be a way around it. So, two days later, I finally called Frita on the phone and told her she should come over because I’d made up my mind. I was keeping the spider. Frita couldn’t come over that night because she had a meeting for the Rockford Baptist Peace Warriors. But on Saturday her daddy drove her over in their station wagon and she got out lugging an old fish tank that she’d dug out of her basement. “Look,” Frita said, showing me the tank as soon as she arrived. She lifted up the lid, then popped it back on again. “Your spider can live in here. It’s perfect.” She picked up the glass jar I was keeping him in and pressed her finger to the side so it looked like she was tickling the spider’s stomach. “You’re going to keep him for good, right?” I stared at the spider’s awful, ugly eyes. “Looks like it,” I said. Frita twirled around in a circle.
