Also he said the story is real except the names. Darren makes then a statement that life, unlike a cartoon, is naturally evil, doesn't care about happy endings, and is always out to kill you. The reason he started the 2 tale is because as the books unfold he said the story is real he doesn't expect the reader to believe but if he hadn't live through it he wouldn't believe it either. However, the joy of that gift was crushed when he, after watching a cartoon, killed the spider with a vacuum cleaner. When he was young, he used to bring spiders from the garden and let them loose in his house, and at the age of 9, he received the greatest gift of his life: a small tarantula. It start with Darren narating saying he was always fascinated by spiders.
