SOL#5- The Shell Cottage

Up the apple tree, over the fence, through the trees they went. The picket fence comes into view, the cottage resting behind it. The cottage and its garden are run down. The paint is peeling, the hedges need trimming, and the weeds need pulling. Despite its rusty exterior, those who come near see its inner spirit. The walls of the cottage are covered in weeds.  Portions of the roof appear as though they are about to cave in. Layers of dust cover the floor. The beauty of the shells that decorate the main room is obscured by the cobwebs. When rain falls, small drops land in the hallway. The cottage is empty of all furniture adding to its feeling of abandonment. People do not dare to come near to the cottage. Except for one. Once who went up the apple tree, over the fence, and through the trees, until they saw the picket fence and the Shell Cottage beyond.
