“It was December 14. There weren’t many days until Christmas, but we weren’t thinking about it. We had more important things to do. We’d been hanging out at the old sawmill for more than four months, and it showed. The sawdust was trodden up with dirt, candy wrappers, and other garbage, and was no longer spread evenly over the concrete floor, but formed hills and peaks between pieces of lumber we’d dumped around the place for playing off-ground tag and sitting on. The spiders didn’t seem to have... reduced their activity on account of our presence. Rather, it was as if we’d increased their chances of a haul, and there were cobwebs in every nook and cranny. The windows, those that were still intact, were if possible even grimier than when we’d started. After some arguing about who was to do what, we finally got going.

And Maiken, Elise, and Gerda clambered around, brushing away cobwebs.MoreLessRead More Read Less
