We had leftover curry for dinner in the kitchen.

Followed by a slice of homemade pie from under that cloche in the picture. No one else dropped by.
While we were eating, I saw an old lady walk into one of the rooms. Cushion didn't and there's been no sound or sight of her since. I'm sure I saw her. She must just be very quiet.
It's not even 8pm.
David Bowie is playing. Before him, Dean Martin.
Down the corridor, I can hear the telly in our room and Cushion coughing. From somewhere further away, a tumble dryer. There is no other sound.
I'm typing on this couch.

Wondering about the people who used to stay in these rooms and shuffle along these hallways.

Even the cat on the wall looks nervous.
