Rural Route 2, Oklahoma in the 80’s and lots and lots of spiders.
Trigger Warning: there is an abundance of spiders, ticks and scorpions in this story. An animal dies and generally this is a pretty damn dark story, and nobody should read it.
I see spiders. Spiders find me. I have nutty interactions with spiders almost every week. They will slide down a web in front of my face.

Food producers are allowed to put in more vitamin mix then required so that labels can say, “200% of your daily required…” The low-nutrient food sources are also fortified with iron which causes a whole Pandora’s box of health issues such as in white Caucasians, who are prone to hemochromotosis a genetic predisposition to store extra iron. Vitamin C causes an uptick in Iron acquisition and is also commonly added to food and supplemented meaning most people get several times their iron requirements daily. And finally, worth of an entire book by itself: inorganic phosphates that can literally turn your elastic happy heart arteries to stone.
