Hopefully it's still there, it was pretty old in my time, but it was absolutely solid.  If this house is still half standing, the old cottage is probably still solid..</description>

			<description>This is a dream.  It's all been a dream.  This can't be real.  Emily thought to herself as she lie upon the uncomfortable wooden floor of the shed, clinging desperately to the blanket she was provided.  Even before she opened her eyes she knew something was wrong, or at least not right.  She took a ..</description>

			<description>&quot;You should come inside.&quot;  Rhett called out into the darkening day.  Emily was as still as the stone she sat upon, not seeming to here Rhett's voice.  &quot;Come in.  There's many dangers out there, I can't protect you from all of them.&quot;  Emily turned to look at him, her bright green eyes staring into hi..</description>
