What Hell May Come
Apart from a few old gents sipping wine at a cafe, not many people were about.
The family manse was a few kilometers away, surrounded by dense woods. Absolom called it a manse, in Jon’s eyes it was a fortress. The wall around it was a stone structure straight from the Middle Ages, complete with a gatehouse and battlements. A massive fountain, worn with age and algae, dominated the entrance drive. It was of a weeping young girl, presumably St. Fond, in chains. Water flowed lethargically about her. The main house was more modern, 17th Century, with all the architectural oddities that century provided.
