Sepia Tints

“I don’t know how many spirits have stopped by, or lived here in the last few years. It feels criminal to disturb their abode.” “You cannot build a new structure, without pulling this one down.

“I’m bought and worn, but I ain’t no dupe.You underestimated me, dude,” I chuckled silently as I handed over my resignation.
