The house


She stares at the empty house. Smiling from the memories that flood her mind.

She grew up in this house. From the rusted swing set where she spent most of her afternoons on. To the Abandoned tree house her father had built for her and her brother. Years ago she had to leave all her memories and friends behind. She remembers driving away and looking out the window as what she loved most passed by.

    She unlocked the door to the large house. Nostalgic smells filling her nose. Her young daughter runs past her in her snow clothes as she did when she was her age. A feeling of happiness washes over her. Know that her children will get to grow up in the same house as she did without leaving abruptly, makes her happy and rest easy. She is ready to relive her old memories and make new ones with a family of her own.

    I like the way you created a whole story that sweeps across many years and emotions, just based on one image. Well done!
