...smells of wet wood and plaster,
the old stove where something lives,
growling and scratching as I walk by,
an old checkerboard,
long forgotten birthday cards and old wooden blocks.

pocket doors, broken and leaning.
the stairs up to rooms you don't dare step across,
the floors treacherous and weak.
I come here to forget...or maybe to remember...

Sometimes all you have left are remnants of a life.

Got lucky last June and ran into this on our way to town for dinner!
