“The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had borne as I best could…”

There was an argument. I bricked up the doorway and told them they would need to solve their own problems. Immediately, the problem was solved, but the bricks remained. Now when they argue inside, I say, “I can take down the wall or you can solve the problem yourself.” For now, they like the wall.

 

 

 

I enjoy my key-hole view of a place reserved exclusively for children.

 

 

 

 

 

“I forced the last stone into its position; I plastered it up.

Against the new masonry I re-erected the old rampart of bones.

For the half of a century no mortal has disturbed them. In pace requiescat!”

Bunny in the house

When it is cold and lonely out, Tucker comes inside the house for snuggles.

 

 

When he gets too hot in his winter coat, he hops back outside.
