I mean, I was looking at the pictures of decaying houses in Detroit and couldn't help thinking of living houses gone bad [because you know old houses have a life of their own]... feral buildings, lurking in what used to be leafy suburbs... undead residences, quietly feeding on the still living communities, sapping the life from them.. even zombie houses that ought to be dead, but somehow still stagger on despite seeming to be on the verge of collapse.
and I wondered.. what happens when someone reanimates such a house? Occupies it and breathes new life into it. How does it feel about it..?
