In English Class, we had to write a story or description of a house without using the word 'house', and this is what I wrote.


There it stands, the place i spent most of my childhood. It may look old and run-down now, but back then it was my castle. I would look out the window on the top floor and imagine that my subjects were below, watching me wave at them. Sometimes I could just walk outside without a care, but other times I had to sneak around as to not get mobbed by my fans. I would march into the woods with my knights following behind. There were times we scouted, other times we subjugated monsters, and yet other times we rescued a maiden in distress. But times change and suddenly we left to go to the city. When I came back the remnants of my castle still held the memories of my childhood, but I was no longer the king.
