Out In The Dark

It’s autumn and nearly Halloween. Bendik is sulking because he has to be home by 8 o’clock even though they’re going to go trick-or-treating – and because he has to look after his little brother, as well. Maria isn’t the slightest bit interested in going trick-or-treating, she’s finally going to visit mum in hospital! But then she can’t go anyway. When Bendik sees how upset Maria is, he quickly makes a decision. “We can all go trick-or-treating this evening,” he says. So it ends with those two, along with Klaus, Bendik’s little brother, and Maria’s dog, Balder, going together. Not exactly what they had in mind, perhaps, but at least it won’t be the worst Halloween.
