Chapter Twenty-Two – Cleaning Days

[The alarm went off, it was 6 AM. Jason and Tess were ready to get to work around the farm. They had 40 starting actions.]

[Obadiah’s Almanac: 10th day of Winter! 81 days until the Winter Festival! It’s looking like a warmer one today, folks! And by warmer, I mean not as miserably cold as it’s been for the last few weeks. We might even see some good packing snow today, especially with that big storm last night! And, while I’m sticking to my resolution not to tell you how to spawn in monsters, I can say, with certainty, that building monsters out of snow is a sure and safe way to accomplish it… If you dare!]

Jason chuckled as his eyes flickered open. He sat up, and Chance bounded up to lick his face. Tess, beside him, glared at the dog until Chance ran over to lick her face.

“Obadiah is getting more comfortable with the town, it sounds like.” Jason rolled out of bed and strode up to the window and wiped away the condensation. Outside, a fresh layer of snow had been added over the previous layer, which only displayed a handful of tracks from nighttime animals. A small fox skittered past, hunting for mice that had built their dens beneath the snow.

“I think Paulina’s stunt really loosened things up,” Tess giggled as she climbed out of bed as well. “There’s something about throwing fruit at a person that just sorta loosens things up. Obadiah was more than willing to bear it, and his girlfriend was the one selling the fruit, so the townsfolk were able to vent their frustrations in a manner that didn’t actually hurt anyone. Everyone wound up in better spirits, and, as near as I can tell, all has been forgiven.”

“That’s good.” Jason took a deep breath and shivered. “Well, I’ll go down and get things ready. What’s your plan for the day?”

“What’s your plan for the day?” Tess countered. “It’s warmer today. Are you going to get out and try to accomplish anything, or stay warm and cozy inside?”

“Warm and cozy.” Jason nodded firmly. “I got ahead of my work in the fall, minus getting my log cabin blown up, so I’m not planning on doing anything more than general maintenance until spring. I’m staying in the house, which is squarely your domain, so you tell me the plan.”

“Then you can help me clean out the basement,” Tess grinned. “Now that we finally have that closet done, I’d like to get started on all the boxes and things down there. I really think we can turn the basement into something cool, but we just have to get all that junk out of there first.”

“Then I’ll see you when I get back inside from getting the horses ready.” Jason flashed a smile, then turned and made his way down the stairs. A few moments later, he was out in the yard. Chance joined him this time, and began leaping through the piles and drifts of snow with vigor.
