The paint was peeling off the walls, with graffiti littering almost every inch of space from top to bottom. There were several doors, all closed, along the way. My nose itched with all the dirt floating around. “I promise, soon, you will be welcomed into our forever home, but for now, this will have to do,” Ed stated as if he could sense my unease about the place.
I didn’t respond but instead continued to follow him. He finally came to a small set of stairs leading further into the building. “Watch your step,” he cautioned as we descended. I scoffed at his words; like he really cares about my safety now, I thought to myself.
