  • The Castoff House

    The house was a rambling thrown together affair, with many oddly placed rooms and 17 doors. This house had been built back in the early 1930’s and then added on to innumerable times over the years. Originally the house was built in stone but many of the additions were not. This gave the house a rather mottled outside appearance. On the inside some of the exterior stone walls had become interior walls adding to the strange appearance of the house. The house was filled with the remnants of other households. When old family members would pass the unused or unclaimed household items and old furni...UBrone door

It seemed as if the birds didn't want to sing today, the kids in my neighbourhood didn't want to play today.I remember how I used to sit here while I was young, everything was so beautiful back then. I sat here all day long and basked under the sun. Everything was so different back then. But that day was different, everything was ashen and grey. I could see my sister sitting in the garden playing with her dolls.My sister was a miracle child. She had a major surgery when she...UBrone door
