Gossamer threads of a spider web cover the gaping hole in the window screen where once a fist had gone through. The walls in the bathroom are mold over from hot water ran to muffle cries in the night. You can see in the wall that someone tried to patch up holes caused by a shoe or flying object. If you listen carefully you can hear screams and shouting still echoing throughout the rooms. A little rag doll laid covered in dust in the corner of a child�s bedroom. There in that corner a little girl cowered from the violence. The little rag doll torn from her arms just as childhood was ripped from her life. If walls could speak what would they say about you? Leave people, places and life better than how you found it. The evil that men do not only haunt little girls dreams but places too.

I'm thinking about buying a house and thought it would be fun to buy a fixer upper and fix it up. The words and images above flashed through my mind as I entered this house. I don't know its history, but I felt it and was repulsed by it. Thank you for reading...Leah
