A Bit Found
Moving, in real life, after 14 years in the same house has led to some interesting mental lapses. I know / knew where something was in the old house, but have no idea where it is here. Anyway I found this bit of writing in a book, that was in a box that I had just started going through. Without further ado …
Ewdina had just discovered a stone wall. It was perhaps 20 feet high and went in either direction as far as she could see, in a forest. She looked to her left down the wall, then turned and started walking in the other direction. She had been walking for about two hours through the forest before being stopped by this wall. She raised her left hand every once and a while, to touch the stones in the wall hoping she might find a loss one that may give her a way to get on the other side of this mysterious barrier. While looking at the wall, she turned quickly to see a tightly tangled clump of trees, vines and underbrush blocking her way. They were growing so close to the wall that she had to walk a wide way around this obstruction.
