Nano 2008, post 1; Prelude: The Little House By The Stream (count: 125)
There is a little house by a stream, deep in the wood where no one goes. It is a quiet house, a cozy house. It is also a waiting sort of house.
It has been years and many years since last smoke was seen to drift from its chimney, or laughter to issue from it's doorway. The little house has been alone for a long time now.
But still it sits, and waits.
And one day, not long before the beginning of our tale, the little house by the stream will sit up, so to speak, and straighten its walls and blink its shutters and shake just a few of the sparrows from their nests at its eves.
For the little house knows that soon, its waiting will be over.
