A House With Good Bones Novels & Stories

I noticed many pack members, especially the females drop their heads and look away once they saw me as we continued onto the house. The house was stone, cold and intimidating. Nothing to my liking. It had been built to elude a medieval castle feeling, however the stones were large, poorly laid out and the residence took on more of a contemporary style.

All this house had was a mean drunk who would rather punch holes in the wall than reinforce the warped floorboards.

I avoided their conversation and was more than glad when we got to the building and saw that the moving cars had reached and our things were being unloaded. The house was three stories, brick walled and old, just like the town. I liked it was a bit out of town. The apartment was pleasant, but tiny. We had only two bedrooms, which meant I would share with Hannah for the time it would take to renovate the resort.

Slowly, they all nodded. “Okay,” Ezekiel said. “Lead the way.” After taking a few more sketchy turns at a walk, the five of us came upon a clearing. In this clearing was some sort of safe house. It was a dingy little thing, with rotting wood on the outside and shattered windows allowing us to look inside. The roof was falling apart. Shingles littered the yard in front of it.
