A Fortress In A Dark Place

Background: To get back into writing I decided to do some short writing prompts based on images. This is the first one. The prompt is an image I found online under creative commons using the query 'eerie'. I picked my image prompt purely based on what spoke to me. I did not look at it again until it was time to write. This story is named after the name I gave the image when I saved it.

I am still writing this and at the moment I'm unsure of where the story is going. I am following where it leads me. To be honest I think I am exploring the emotional journey of my life, and re-contextualizing my baggage through writing this story.
