The House That Was A Forest
It’s easy to tell when people haven’t been around their homes. An area of common use collects dust, a chill sneaks into every corner and crack. Usually these places have friends, other houses alive and well just next door, or across the street. An ambient warmth can spread across a city, just enough to make up for the emptier places. Without it, you’d get a shiver across your back walking past every abandoned building. Some people still do.
