Whenever we think of a Spinster as a monster, we ought to think about the reasons we think that way. Once a vital part of our economy, Spinster trading has fallen close to oblivion by what has become, this day and age, a proper industry. Manufacturing facilities have resorted to the use of synthetic materials and Spinter’s webs have been quickly replaced by polymer based threads brought from the coastal cities. Spinsters, despite being fast and disciplined workers, would not provide the thread required by the rising demand as it would have been harmful to the health of its community. As if such relationship had never existed between the builders of the forest and our kind, public opinion seems to have been driven into a hateful campaign against our ancient teachers, causing the population to overlook the connection between the decline of Spinter participation in the economy and the sudden rise of so called accidental forest fires is the territories they inhabit. Thousands of years of carefully preserved culture burnt in a greed fueled fire drove Spinters to leave their homes and go into hiding. Humans suspected of harboring refugees had their homes periodically inspected for cobwebs. In spite of this, and the brutally enforced campaign placed to institute “order”, cobwebs keep appearing around town and in the forest. To claim back the space that was theirs has now become, for some, a rebellious and punishable act. For others, a right. And for those, remembering is a necessity.
