Oh well now this is a pleasant surprise

Didja ever wake up in the morning and go outside, only to discover that your front porch steps have been demolished to rubble and you hadn't been aware that such a thing was going to happen?



Man, I hate days like that.

I must see this house of yours!

That is an awesome house. When I was a kid we almost moved into a 200-year-old house that was rumored to be a stop on the Underground Railroad, and if you swung a bookcase back you'd find a secret, unfinished hidden chamber with dirt floor and exposed brick walls and entirely too little light.

It's just as well my parents didn't buy that house. My brothers and I probably would have played The Amontillado Game and shut each other in that room over and over and over again until one of us came down with acute claustrophobia.
