Anatomy of a House pt.1

The Last Inhabitant


An empty shell choked with vines
Where people danced
The wind resides
Breathless in a crowded room
No laughter
To dispel the gloom
A single shadow walks the floors
Peeps through keyholes
Opens doors
The last inhabitant
Lets you in
But will she let you out again?

    Sounds like a creepy house to me! Nicely expressed. Thanks for sharing.
    Good luck with NaPoWriMo. I'm doing it in addition to the A-Z Challenge.
