The Time Capsule

Part 5

We got to his old house at dusk, the sun setting behind made it look creepy, The white siding was gray with age and dirt, some of the shingles fell off the roof. and ivy over grew the porch.

The lights didn't work, Josh pulled two flashlights out of the knapsack.

We walked around the floors creaking under our weight threating to give in at any given moment.
