Hill House, not sane, stood by | | itself against its hills, holding | | darkness within; it had stood so for | | eighty years and might stand for eighty | | more. Within, walls continued upright, | | bricks met neatly, floors were firm, | | and doors were sensibly shut; silence | | lay steadily against the wood and stone | | of Hill House, and whatever walked | | there, walked alone. | | | | -- Shirley Jackson, "The Haunting of | \ Hill House" / ----------------------------------------- |02 \ / \ //\ \ |\___/| / \// \\ /0 0 \__ / // | \ \ / / \/_/ // | \ \ @_^_@'/ \/_ // | \ \ //_^_/ \/_ // | \ \ ( //) | \/// | \ \ ( / /) _|_ / ) // | \ _\ ( // /) '/,_ _ _/ ( ; -. | _ _\.-~ .-~~~^-.
