Rankin went up the steps, his huaraches crunching on faded fake grass, and knocked on the aluminum front door. A cobweb sagged from the upper corner of the porch screen. Rankin reached up and swiped at the web, then shook it off his hand. A brown spider plopped onto the porch and started to scramble off.

But Rankin hurried to smash it with his foot. Then he grimaced as he scraped the dead thing off his shoe onto the step.
