None of them had been outside in days, and Eddie was starting to freak the hell out. Not that he wanted to go out there with a bunch of monsters and that weird glittery snow, but it felt more and more like all the days his mother kept him trapped inside the house, afraid he might skin his knee or catch a cold or have too much fun.

"Ugh, now we'll have to come back," he said in a hissed whisper, his sneakers squeaking on the hallway's vinyl flooring.
