Jaiden Mitchell !

A Silent House

Drip drip drip . The kitchen sink drips , and never stops . Endless shadows cast through the old curtains over the hours of the day . The boards under the carpet never creek , as no one steps on them . Cobwebs start to form in every corner . Dust piles up on all the countertops . The food in the cupboards never opened , and will go bad , not eaten . Beds are stiff and cold when no one sleeps in them . Grass over grows , and dies slowly . Hedges are never trimmed . Nothing . No one . No sounds . No life . In an empty house .
