Zombie, Ninja, Pirate Spiders - Sept. Challenge - LAST DAYS

Some years ago I was running a tabletop RPG in which my players were exploring an underground ocean. They had their own ship and were attacked by another ship. The crew of the pirate ship seemed to be made up of human-sized spiders carrying cutlasses and firing muskets. Except some of them seemed to come out of nowhere and attack with nunchuks, sais and shurikens. And some of them seemed to be undead and unkillable.

During the course of the battle one of the players said, "Wait, wait! Stop! We're fighting Zombie, Ninja, Pirate Spiders?"

Well, next Monday is International Talk Like a Pirate Day and my mom's birthday. When I told Mom about the holiday she made an epic reply. "shit," she said. :) You have to have known Mom to know how funny that was, she didn't say things like that. :)

Anyway, in memory of my mother, who never understood how someone staring at a blank piece of paper or a computer screen could be working, and in celebration of the holiday on her birthday, and in memory of those who fell battling the P.S. Ariadne, this is the September Story Challenge:

Write a story, poem, or chapter in a longer work that features Zombies, Ninjas, Pirates or Spiders or multiples of those categories and is appropriately TG in some ways. Bonus no-points for including more than one category. Even more no-points for including sailing ships, sealing wax, cabbages or kings.

It's a silly challenge for a Silly September. :)

Hugs,
Erin
