Once there was a boy named Spiderface. Nobody in town liked Spiderface, because of his spider face. It wasn't really his fault, but the Sheriff wouldn't protect him from the daily beatings he sustained (his preternatural healing powers didn't make him any more popular), and Spiderface pretty much just shrugged it off and tried to go about his days as pleasantly as possible. Nobody was with him when he died.
