a haunting
The house stands empty for many years, and for good reason. It isn't the kind of place that people stay in for long: musty, filled with cobwebs, mice and little visitors, as well as drafty and dark, you'd have to be a fool or desperate to try to live here.
Roman is a little bit of both. He arrives in a small truck late one night, deeds of the place newly acquired, and goes to sleep in the dark on the front hearth, too nervous about the state of the chimney to try anything like lighting a fire.
The next morning, stiff but not yet disheartened, he starts his work. The first order of business is getting all the windows open.
