Just Looking
Our feet tramp the fallen ceiling tiles and lightbulbs into muck. How long did it take for the place to fall into precisely this amount of decay? When I get home, I’ll look it up.
Tetanus looms everywhere, baiting me.
Next to the rusted cash register, I spy a newspaper dated 1993. I marvel at its condition -- supernatural, or just luck? On the front page is a photo of my fourth grade teacher’s two children, sifting through the rubble of a demolished church. I do what you are not supposed to do and pocket a keepsake for my Christmas tree.

thanks for joining the adventures! Your fourth grade teacher's kids were an OMEN. You were meant to be crawling around in that muck.
I actually have to buy new sneakers.
