As the wind gusted the old house creaked. I jumped despite myself, “it’s nothing, there’s no one there” I spoke aloud, to calm my nerves Another gust, another creak “Wednesday?” I asked tentatively “General after the sun rises” she replied. #WedC

– It’s the law, he said and fell silent. We stared on each other for a long while, and I struggled to look confident. But my mind was in overdrive. Constantly thinking out ways to react and rejecting them at the same speed.
–What do you see? Said the old Sami hunter. –Snow? No! Is it good for hunting, easy to ski on? Can the reindeer find food under it? Is it gentle or dangerous? Deep or shallow? –I don't know. –Now look closely and be the snow! #wedc#wednesdaychallenge
