Home Sweet Home

Alex pushed open the darkwood door of 29 Main street and looked around the empty room. There was dust sitting on the air in a spacious living room, catching the mirky sunlight. He placed his suitase, all of his belongings, in the middle of the hallway and paced around the empty house. The large wooden staircase wound away from him and up to the second floor. Alone in his new home, Alex felt for the first time a sense of settledness, he felt his anxiety lift.
