The Old House on the Hill Crimson rays of sunlight speckled through and glittered the autumn leaves‚ making their colorful silhouette seem to dance on the mountain horizon.

1) The House On The Hill The rain; its heavy drops beating on me like bullets in quick succession; the wind; it is trying to blow me down… will I fall? Or will I remain unbeaten‚ only to be taken down by those monsters with loud and grating voices; those monsters that spew out foul‚ black smoke; those monsters that took down my friends below me with their humongous claws? Drip‚ drip‚ drip. My roof is leaking again. Soon I’m going to rot away until my legs can no longer sustain my weight and finally
