Lake Lewisia #1213

The house, being both rural and rundown, had its share of more and less welcome cohabitants, and the woman tried to make her peace with that. She grew accustomed to ducking to avoid the low-hanging cobwebs of spiders, and she pretended not to notice the quick streak of mousy bodies darting along the cabinets and behind the refrigerator. What she was not prepared to ignore or adapt to was the clip-clop noises of very recognizable, albeit very small, heeled boots scuttling from one room to the next at all hours of the night.
