Lace but tatty, sadly

That tatty lace was once so pretty. It covered those tall windows, and the light would shine brightly in the early evening.
The sun still smiles, but there’s no-one to see it here in this house.

Then the house was a home.

The walls and the doors were painted in rich and bold colours.
The garden was glorious with many exotic flowers, bushes and vegetables. And beyond, those magnificent trees would often seem to sing.

But that was a long time ago.

Would you see a ghost sometimes?
Would you hear a strange knock in the night?
Maybe? Maybe not.

When the house was a home the house was happy, then. I hope a family with children would rent her, fix her up.
Or perhaps a ghost for a tenant? It’d bring back happiness for sure. This is lovely Chris. Happy I read.

I’m so glad that you enjoyed that one, Selma. Lots of possible scenarios in that place I felt!
