The Old Bell

The old bell in the tower is gothic revival. Green moss drapes the high tower walls, a labyrinth staircase leads up, twisting. The bell tolls each day on the hour, drifting, far. __________________________ June 15, 2017 Ninette/The Old Belli Copyright Protected, ID 909991 The Bell John Anderson Tenth Place
