About This Adventure
You live through the first ordinary morning in your Forest Hills house after a spider bite rewrote your body, hiding accidental strength and sticky hands from Aunt May and Uncle Ben before the school day starts. You stand at the kitchen counter on Ingram Street turning a bent brass doorknob back and forth in your palm. It gave under your grip when you came downstairs five minutes ago.

May sets down the spatula. “Peter, you’re hovering like something’s wrong—did you sleep off that fever or is there still a problem?”

Nothing in the municipal statutes accounts for a radioactive spider that rewrote muscle, vision, and skin adhesion overnight; the city simply keeps moving, and the house on Ingram Street is where you woke up changed. You stand at the kitchen counter turning a bent brass doorknob back and forth in your palm. It gave under your grip five minutes ago on the way downstairs, the metal folding like soft clay before you could stop yourself. Your glasses sit folded beside the sink; Uncle Ben’s newspaper print is knife-sharp without them. Yesterday’s shirt pulls tight across the shoulders and thighs that did not exist the night before. The bite on your hand has faded to a pale mark that no longer throbs. ...
