Transcript

00:00Sea was bitten on her ring finger by a teensy orange spider hiding inside a washed and ready

00:18to eat packet of sliced courgettes imported from Kenya.

00:23The finger swelled and tightened.

00:26How could the epidermis stretch so far without tearing apart?

00:29But the real problem was in her toes.

00:34Pretty soon she lost all feeling in her feet and dropped to the floor.

00:38And moment by moment the numbness increased as if molten lead were flowing through her

00:42veins to her lower limbs.

00:45However, her mind remained clear.

00:49And with great foresight, she thumped the leg of the kitchen table with the outside

00:53of her fist, causing the telephone handset to jump from the docking station and fall

00:57safely into the hairy tartan blanket in the wicker dog basket.

01:04She called her brother, Sandy.

01:07Sandy's voice said,

01:08Hi, I'm at the golf course, leave a message.

01:14She called her mother.

01:16Her mother said,

01:17Forget the spider.

01:18Where's that pastry brush I lent you?

01:22And the silver candlesticks you borrowed to impress that boss of yours at one of your

01:25fancy-pants dinner parties?

01:26Where will it all end, see?

01:27It'll be the melon baller next, then the ice cream scoop, and soon I'll have nothing.

01:28Do you hear me?

01:29Nothing.

01:30God knows I didn't bring you up to be a thief, but you have a problem with honesty, see?

01:31You really do.

01:32Did you find the man yet?

01:33Now, leave me alone.

01:34I've got to go.

01:35I've got to go.

01:36I've got to go.

01:37I've got to go.

01:38I've got to go.

01:39I've got to go.

01:40I've got to go.

01:41I've got to go.

01:42I've got to go.

01:43I've got to go.

01:44I've got to go.

01:46Now, leave me alone.

01:47Look at me, I'm the nurse coming.

01:50See's dog padded over and licked her chin, then went back into the living room to watch

01:57daytime TV.

02:00See lay on the tiles on the kitchen floor for a few cold, quiet minutes, considering

02:09the ever-after.

02:12Then with a good hand, she punched a long, random number into the keypad, 11 or 12 digits.

02:21After a lot of clicking and crackling, it rang.

02:24Who is this? said a man.

02:28My name's Cee, and I'm dying from a spider bite, she said, and described the incident

02:34with the insect and the pre-packed salad vegetables.

02:39The man said, I'm dying too.

02:40I've been adrift in an inflated inner tube in the Indian Ocean for six days now, and

02:41the end is near.

02:42I think a shark took my leg, but I daren't look.

02:43Why don't you call for help, she asked.

02:44Why don't you?

02:45He replied.

02:46His name was Dean.

02:47They chatted for a while, not caring a hoot about the cost of premium medical care, and

02:48the cost of premium rate international calls during peak periods.

03:17Is it dark there?

03:19Cee wanted to know.

03:20Yes.

03:21Are you married?

03:22Asked Dean.

03:23Cee replied.

03:24I've had no luck with men, even though I'm a lovely person and I've taken good care of

03:25my body.

03:26What's your best feature?

03:27My laugh, said Cee, laughing.

03:28And my lips, which have never received the attention they deserve.

03:46The poison had reached as far as her windpipe, and was tightening around her throat.

03:52Dean said,

03:53Do you think we could have made it together?

03:54I think so, she whispered.

03:55I don't like courgettes, Dean joked.

03:56And those were his last words.

03:57I would have done broccoli, she breathed.

03:58Or even cauliflower.

03:59Whatever you asked for, I would have made.

04:00There was a horrible pause, as we sat there wondering whether or not to applaud, and the

04:26curtains closed.

04:27And we were done.

04:28And we were done.

04:29And we were done.

04:30And we were done.

04:31And we were done.

04:32And we were done.

04:33And we were done.

04:34And we were done.

04:35And we were done.

04:36And we were done.

04:37And we were done.

04:38And we were done.

04:39And we were done.

04:40And we were done.

04:41And we were done.

04:42And we were done.

04:43And we were done.

04:44And we were done.

04:45And we were done.

04:46And we were done.

04:47And we were done.

04:48And we were done.

04:49And we were done.

04:50And we were done.

04:51And we were done.

04:52And we were done.

04:53And we were done.

04:54And we were done.

04:55And we were done.
