Mysteries in the mists

A leap into the unknown Bermuda

After the cabs have disappeared and the sound of traffic was far away, I started heading up the huge driveway towards a beautifully broken mansion. It wasn’t broken so much as had no real maintenance. I look back at Skylar and can see the wheels clicking in his head trying to make this monstrosity of a house the same one we saw online. I have more appreciation of architecture than him so I’m not completely giving up yet, it was supposed to be a “getaway”. We have two days to turn this home into the event of the century for our family, and as I walk past the circuit board I can understand the amount of work ahead of us. I look back at Skylar but he’s trying to find signal on his cellphone. I was sure I told him it was a remote location no cell towers around, but it’s hard to let go of the world in your hands for the world in your face.
