miserable forlorn abandoned shack

the abandoned shack looks miserable and forlorn standing amid brambles and weeds in an unkempt field her porch boards creak ominously as we walk across them Some of the end boards have disintegrated she looks sad and gloomy; her front door is gone she has not been cared for in a number of years the upstairs windows are broken probably by rocks her kitchen has been stripped of appliances wires hang where her oven used to be the floor is brighter next to these wires a tiny creature scuttles across the floor She smells like animals She has probably been a haven for squirrels and mice Maybe raccoons take up residence during the winter Do you want to go upstairs? My girlfriend asks I shake my head “no” not wanting to see any more
