In Which August 2026 Ends, slightly above average, for all it is due

Good morning, dear friend, reader of this post! I trust it should be time for us now to wrap up the month of August! How was yours? As for my own, it went fast, and though not on the top 5 best months of my life, specially due to the bellow average birthday time, it was not a lost case scenario, in fact, retrospectively, it was a productive one, far more than I was anticipating, and specially concerning writing. It is true that financially it was a profoundly rough month, and in other aspects, such as the longing for chatting with my best friends more often, which for now could not happen, it went lackluster, but we did have had good news, such as the new DLC for Age of Empires 3 DE, coming, at least on the schedule, on September 10th. You know how chaotic a gane release can be, even of a DLC, reason why I don't know for sure if it will actually come on September, or will be delayed, but thinking that just two months ago we deemed Age 3 all but on maintenance mode, that is a remark...

In which we talk about the Haunted House!

Hello everyone!! Happy Wednesday to you and good evening! How are you today and how are things going?? As usual, I hope you are having a nice day and I wish you the best!! How is the weather where you are? Here it was the hottest day of the year so far, I'm not even kidding, like 100 degrees, 38 celsius of thermal sensation, 32 of temperature, it is hot, that is for sure, the wind is hot, the sun was at its maximum power, definitely not the day to get out of the air conditioner, at all, and yet I did! I had to, today the teachers of my discipline organized a field trip with the class to see an abandoned place they want to work with us in class and stuff, so far so boring, but it end up being a pretty jolly experience! First I went to a huge store filled with different things, and it was amazing, definitely the subject of my next post, and then from there, our checkpoint if you may, we went through the final destiny, and that one was pretty far away from the town buzz. We went to a pretty creepy location so we could examine things in it and also the teachers could give their class in the field, like they said they would do. It was great to see this place in the city, even with the terrible heat, all the insects and the dirt, luckily I went prepared, I was wearing my UV shirt that would protect my skin from the sun, and with a pretty solid tennis shoes, of course even with that I was melting and very uncomfortable, but it could be worse! This is where our post take place! It happens that in this place, we could see a big fancy house, abandoned entirely, delivered to the flies and spiders and the straw on the floor, the vegetation growing out of control in that area. It is definitely a haunted place, where once a happy family lived and left for reasons unknown to me, here, see what I'm talking about


Built around the 40's, this place was a model house back then! Huge windows of the time, staircases in stone, carefully crafted garden back in the days, we can still feel what's left of it buried in the grass. Now it's slowly falling into decadence. I entered on the place, definitely not pleasant right now, insects, air that smells bad, floor definitely out of shape, but just imagine how this place was when actual people were living in it! There is this series I used to love to see: Life After People. It used to talk abou what would have happened with all the structures and things we humans would left behind if we simply vanish from Earth. Pretty creepy, am I right? Definitely interesting to see this on the house though. Its eerie atmosphere must be terrifying at night, filled with ghosts from the 40's. 


This forgotten place even has a pool with a barbecue area in bad shape! Look carefully and you can see this forest of grass was tamed once, in the style thriving in the 40's and 50's I'm sure!


Here's the only sneak peek inside the house I have to offer, unfortunately I didn't stay long inside to take any significant picture, it was with some bad insects there, but the kitchen looked modern for the standards of the time, even though looks too rustic for my taste, thick walls and brick closets, not my thing.

And before we can wrap up for today, one last picture of our haunted mansion!


And this is it for today, a haunted house that smells like dirt and lost dreams. I was going to do sketch of the week today but with my visitation I just had to share with you guys all about my visitation to this odd place! Thank you so much for reading! You are the very best! See you next time!
