Graveyard















Decades before a graveyard stood,
Welcoming the dead and mourning relatives.



Now for sale.

  1. Interesting stages ... from graveyard to church to sale with a very ironic for sale sign! A sign from the dead I believe?

  2. That was enjoyable and clever. "Fertile Soil" LOL. Don't think I'd like to buy that land!

  7. Guys I am really sorry. Had mistaken that for 140words. Horrible mistake indeed. Now edited that to less than 140 characters(including the advertisement)

  9. I wonder who would buy land that was once a graveyard--maybe someone with a thick skin and who isn't superstitious.

  10. Sorry I missed that one Sparkle farkle(she made me laugh)

    and creepy

  11. Hmmm. I am just the type to buy it anyway. I know its a crumbling mess, but I find this place reather beautiful even if a bit too worn in.

  12. Just funning with ya, swputh, just funning with ya. LOL! I'm not good with numbers either. In fact, I have a panic attack with the mere thought of balancing my checkbook. For that reason alone (and a few others), I wouldn't dare think of playing Sudoku. It most likely would leave me comatose.

    P.S. I hope I didn't scare you away. That truly was not my intention. See you next Monday? It's a date!

  13. For sale can sound so cold, can't it?

    Enjoyed this.

  14. You've made me want to buy it... somehow the house now looks like the last sad puppy at the pet shop.
    Lovely mood in such a few words!

  18. Nice one, SW. We have Texas laws against ever using a graveyard for any other purpose unless all the body remnants have been relocated. It would be a tough sale here!
    Sorry I'm so late in getting back here, my week was very busy and hectic.
