Walk inside, unpack.

I was left a house-

No windows,

no mirrors.

But still I see-

a bit of myself.

In each wall.

Built of stone and bone.

Sorrowful souls that call out.

Late at night, I can’t sleep.

Edgar Alan Poe, 12AM.

Roll over and write.

Jot down my thoughts.

The family...

He never knew he’d be spending a night in a graveyard of things past. Not a graveyard of bone and decaying clothes and wooden boxes. It was another kind. Here it was of torn rusted metal and frayed wires. Still it made him shiver. Those things there were as dead as corpses, but had ghosts of their own. The owner of the junkyard had given him the key to the padlock. It wasn’t necessary, there w...

I pushed the old brown wooden door, it gave a long low pitched creek as I pushed it all the way open to allow me to pull my suit case through. One night, that’s all I have to do, just one night alone before the rest of my family arrive. I have to keep reminding myself this as I pushed the door closed.

“Where are we, what town?” My best friend of fifteen years says.

“Not sure but it’s my great uncles house, well, my house I think.”

Strolling, my eyes glance at the rotting oak tree in the front yard. Then they wander to the dingy white door, the paint peeling, the first sign of zero upkeep.
