The Home That Was

She had a home where she felt at home.

She had invested her lifetime's savings.

She had spent time and effort to set it up.

Photo Prompt- Dale Rogerson

She sure felt settled.


Her fairytale did not last long...


Those powerful people wanted the land where her home was built.

Their fake papers and testament won. 

She was made homeless overnight. 

No one knew where she went after that.

A posh new building stands where her home once stood.

The flat-owner cannot explain the lurking shadows.

Why do the gusts of wind eerily sound like an old woman saying- "You are in my home..."?

What do people get by cheating others? Shouldn't they get punished?

  3. Seems to me they ARE being punished--or at least the people who rent the flats are. Thing is, those who do such heartless things do it because they can. There is no concern for those who are hurt. That's one of the features of being a sociopath.

    I can't blame her for haunting the place. Nicely done.

  8. I hope she scares so many of the tenants out that the owners go broke. Great (sad) story, and too true in many cases.
