Place Memory

Dan’s grandfather passed away one year and two months ago. In the wake of his death the family home was mothballed, doors locked and curtains drawn, a suburban tomb with no body and a price tag pitched in the front lawn. Today I went in to explore and found the house just as he left it, every corner laced with the habits and history of a man I hardly knew in a country that isn’t mine.
