The haunting

Some people swore that the house was haunted. The other people knew better. Some people looked in to windows and saw cobwebs and demons. The other people looked and glimpsed at flower buds growing from the corners of the walls –as they saw past those cobwebs.

Some people looked at the house and would swear that it was empty emanating death and darkness. The others would tell you it was bountiful and full of life and could hear the chandeliers chiming.

The other people couldn’t identify with the some people and the some people thought that the other people were crazy. Both groups wondered how they were ever a one people.

So much had happened in that house. The good things were painted over by the bad things like the cloud hides the sun. It seemed as though the other people could see through the paint and could glimpse in to the good things that had happened in the house. Or maybe it was blind faith.

The separation of the some people and the other people was not instantaneous, as not much is. It slowly deteriorated as they lived in the house together. Things changed though. Nothing lasts forever. When the two groups detached, it sunk friendships and destroyed families.

To be continued.
