HOME
The musty smell assaulted her senses. Dust
flew in every direction as she pulled the crumbling wallpaper, in bits and pieces
from the frame of the old farmhouse. She coughed until her lungs burned,
forcing her outside for fresh air.
Everyone thought she was crazy to buy this
house, but she’d fallen in love the minute she saw it’s beautiful wrap-around
porch and winding staircase.
She ran her fingers over the aged walls and
the outline of pictures that hung decades ago. Love and laughter resonated
thorough her hand, and she knew it would again. She was home.
