The Thursday Thing

My initial Thursday Thing was a house. A 134-year-old house.

Taken by me last April

A local news article was written, and people hoped it could be preserved. But, tough luck.

 

We can surmise a homeless person, hunkering down away from the crazy world, cooked a meal in rare sheltered solitude when something went wrong. Off he ran, and an old house had seen its last sunrise.

The thing was irreparable anyway. Just as well to give someone one last night of hope, as to lean forever helpless behind a chain link fence.
