The house looked forlorn, it’s once magnificent walls now
covered in ivy and the winter snow lay soft on the ground stirring something
deep within my soul. I unlocked the huge wooden doors and stepped inside and a sudden
feeling of loss overwhelmed me, pulling me down with it to bottomless dark pits
that plunged my whole world upside down. Five long years away from all that I had loved, away from her haunting memories, away from her bittersweet presence...I
walked up to the beautiful portrait and leaned my head against it, no longer
willing to escape, as I heard her soft voice whisper...
