Across The Street

The house across the street is always dark. It is a small house. It seems as though it is hiding from all others. The backyard is concealed with trash and wood. But everyone knows that there is one because of the howls. Every night the dog goes crazy. The dog will howl and howl until day. Even in the winter the dog still howls. But in the daytime it is as if the dog vanishes.

The house has a small door that is always open. No one goes near or tries to get a better look. The main room is exposed by a wall completely of glass. We see a dinning room never occupied at daytime. Sometime if you try to, you can see into their kitchen. The kitchen is dark and empty. The tile on the floor cracked and the light always off or very dim.

At night the house comes alive. People fill the main room and the whole house is lit up. They enjoy a family dinner. Then after they talk for hours and hours. There are young boys and a mother and a father. They rarely come out but when they do no one notices.
