Solstice #2

There is a place with buzzing so deafening that there isn't room for the sound of your thoughts in your head.




A bird that sounds like radar coming closer, beep, beep, beep

The prospector's house isn' t actually all that haunted and the prospector wasn't a prospector after all, just a man with a dream.




Then there is that house with the

fireplaces next to a waterfall



that ultimately burnt to the ground.

Solstice

There is a bathtub in the middle of nowhere. About a mile from the nearest house, but that house was built before the civil war and the ghosts of prospectors would look at you if there weren't so many people around.



It is a place where snakes slither up trees to catch their prey who thought they were safe in their holes.



Where there is a house with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, fireplaces next to a waterfall that has ultimately burnt to the ground.




A place where the higher you climb up the side of the mountain the more the earth tilts to shake you off. Where lizards of all colors and sizes try to trip you up and you can only imagine what is in all those holes in the ground.

But the view is pretty spectacular.
