We round a hill and there, hidden by overgrowth; the echo of Navidson's House, the memory of Kafka's Castle, the High House in the Mist, of all houses ever imagined.

August 12th, 2015, 4pm

We explore. It is ruined, and left for dead on the side of the road. Beams exposed to the sky allow the sun through, casting long, truncating shadows across the foundations. A Belfast sink squats in the dirt, covered in cobwebs and dust. It is inaccessible from outside, the interior only glimpsed through fissures in the walls, allowing a view into the past, or into another world. We may never see it again; tomorrow it might be gone. This was a present, a moment when fiction leaks into our reality, and precisely because it is fleeting, it lingers and burns.
