That is true and I have considered that, but I feel lowering his age anymore takes away from the fact that he's been striking out, mostly in secret, against Mr. Withers for at least a few years. At this point I have him at about twelve or thirteen. Of course you might be saying the same thing I'm saying. I don't know how much a twelve or thirteen year-old boy weighs. I was between 115 lbs and 120 lbs when I was eighteen.

The spider bites are only part of his predicament. He's also trapped in a closet. It was my hope that the two issues married together would spell out impending doom for the reader.

I'm really pissed now that I didn't hold onto this story until my earlier stated deadline of the 20th or 21st. You've given me more to think about. I'll do the math and see what I come up with. Thanks again, Dr.BobSmith.
