Cabin

Drifted deep in wintry dark she's in decline, as useless as a sailboat in a storm. Once a haven for hikers, a shelter for stalwarts and strays till the mountains gave summons, now forlorn and disregarded, like a maiden aunt too old and to no purpose, though winsome in her former days when she was quite the prize, the belle of every ball, envied by all. "If those walls could speak!" they say as they quickly pass on by, seldom giving her a second glance.

i love the way you use language, keith. i'm a sucker for alliteration and you really are a master at it. i can picture this little cabin perfectly and i wish i could stop in for a visit so it could recapture a bit of its lost glory...
