If Walls Could Talk
If walls could talk, the secrets they would reveal would be enough to fill volumes of books. They would tell stories of love and loss, triumph and tragedy, of the lives that have passed through their doors and the events that have unfolded within their confines. The walls of the old, rundown mansion on the outskirts of town were no different. They had seen everything from the extravagant parties of the wealthy elite to the quiet, solitary lives of the reclusive owners. And they had kept all their secrets close, until one day, they could no longer keep silent.

The water is close to freezing as I hit it hard, but my body is in good condition and functions well, responding positively to regular exercise and careful maintenance.

Wonder
If walls could talk, would you want them to? To hear the wallpaper whimper out all those wanton recollections to the rows of tomes lined and listening on dusty shelves. The stories and secrets that collected in the creases of the crown molding, the memories made in front of those unapologetic voyeurs, the high up rafter beams. Tawdry details woven into the fabric of every ornate tapestry hung before the blinds. What would you want them to say if given the impossible chance to speak the language of their creators? If walls could talk, would they not also weep?
