Challenge: 331 - Worms
Notes: Sequel to "This old place"

The front garden was overgrown and neglected,  the begonias their mother had tended so carefully, long gone.

Inside the house creaked in all the same places,  but now knowing what was underfoot and causing much of the creaking, made the place feel sad, as if the worms were eating the very memories out of the house.

It looked the same and yet different,  the memories in every room both alive and long forgotten.

Both siblings relived the turbulent mix of emotions that marked their last days living here. Rhiannon clasped his hand.

'It feels like they're here.'

'Maybe they know.'

Now I'm feeling sad AND spooked.

Then my work here is done. As much as I love writing the humorous ones, it's always the emotional ones that stand out in my memory.

This is really sad.

I know what they mean. I can feel mum everywhere here, she's a part of the house now.
