A low home

a low home
the simple structure juts out of the landscape like a raw bone, short and worn by time. the door is chained shut, but the one window to the side is long shattered.

,

a home office
the back wall has been ripped from the rest of the room, resting in a pile of debris where the rest of the house used to be. there's a computer in here on a desk, still plugged into the wall. somehow it still receives power, the monitor lit and awake.

,

the computer
the desktop is empty except for the recycle bin and one file, called "found.txt".

,

a text file
the notepad program opens up and reveals a quick message.

the file's properties reveal it was written about thirty years ago. very recent, relatively.
