Great story. But the backstory? Perhaps good things await? Perhaps a better life? Perhaps... I can only hope.

worried for a future that shows uncertainty. It speaks to me of Europe after WW11 of time following the great Depression....and one has to wonder what this year will bring.

We have heaps of snow up here and more coming evidently.

Well it looks clean and un-haunted I don't know what the grid is unless it is underfloor heating. Of course I would want to sup in the public house and suss out the neighbors. Especially after reading your summary

I have wondered the stories behind abandoned places and in some cases, abandoned people.

Never a place as lonely as the one just abandoned...

I should add...

Upon reflection, it is the picture that gives the whole piece it's haunting character...

TAPS

Words of change and resignation, though not entirely bereft of hope - but strangely haunting...
