The Dreamer
As a boy, Howard dreamed of giant spiders in his father's tool shed. They were black with red spots and the size of a large dog.
He'd not thought of that dream in years. But when the town was invaded by giant spiders, he realized his dreams predicted the future.
He'd also once dreamed that tornadoes were actually giant tomatoes. One of them landed on his preschool and smashed everything. He now expected a giant tomato to hit and wipe out the spiders before more of his family was killed.
It turns out that giant spiders thrive on tomato sauce.
