The Sandglass Widow
The gallery matriarch and the last true spider in it, black and glossy, the red sandglass bright on her abdomen. She shrouds herself in silk and cocoons what stops moving — and she turns the glass on your grains: every dust you bank runs its toll back through you as it is banked. No cold reaches her vault: the frost never slows the fangs.
