Light/medium brown spider with gold stripe?

A little, very speedy brown body spider just ran from my corner (where a backpack and a few stuffed animals lay) half way across the room and then onto my shaggy black carpet and trident to bury itself. I quickly laid a peic of cardboard over the area I had seen it burry itself and stomped... Several times. It had a stipe down it's head (or butt... Too squished to completely examin) and one side hat I believe was the butt, was a shiny, plastic looking light/medium thing shaped like a short cartoon candle. Except fatter and shorter. It wasn't half an inch big, but I think it may have been a young spider. I live I the south us
