Who Knows When I Might Need It Part I

A new day, another adventure. This time I have found myself in a former station village. The trains haven’t stopped here in years, and this usually means that there’s something to be found. Such as this small house on an overgrown lot. Amazingly enough the door was unlocked. And inside I was greeted with thisContinue reading “Who Knows When I Might Need It Part I”

Exploring With A High School Friend Part VI

The living room featured bright colored walls and bookshelves. The bag looks like it’s the coin bag of a bus ticket collector. That might even have been the case, who knows. The mattress has disintegrated. A closer look at the bag. If somebody proves my theory right or wrong, please give a shout. All funContinue reading “Exploring With A High School Friend Part VI”

Exploring With A High School Friend Part V

Welcome to the jungle. Well, almost. This is just an ordinary forest outside a small town. My friend said that she was a bit unsure, where she had seen an abandoned house here, but she said it was somewhere. That should have been a warning sign. The jungle thickens. But wait a second, is thereContinue reading “Exploring With A High School Friend Part V”

Exploring With A High School Friend Part IV

My friend seemed to be something of a specialist in old abandoned one family houses. We next found an overgrown driveway, and decided to go have a closer look. This one was a funny find. The first door was unlocked, but there was a second one between the porch and the hall, which wasn’t. NothinContinue reading “Exploring With A High School Friend Part IV”

Exploring With A High School Friend Part III

After the adventure on the gates of the bunkers, we went to the outskirts of the town, where my friend said several abandoned one family houses stood. And indeed she had done the location scouting very well, as we soon found two of them. They stood on neighboring lots, and had been abandoned for aContinue reading “Exploring With A High School Friend Part III”

Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part V

As we made our way back from the old village school and sightseeing tower, we stopped by an old farm we had spotted on our way earlier that day. Judging by the tracks it was evident, that a local farmer, maybe even the owner passed by the yard on their way to the fields. ThisContinue reading “Exploring With A Childhood Friend Part V”

Greeting A Childhood Friend

So I finally got to the place, where I was supposed to be an hour ago. I chose to visit a childhood friend with whom I went to school between 1996 and 2005. She had become a psychiatric nurse, worked at a mental asylum and lived next to a former one. And this means, thatContinue reading “Greeting A Childhood Friend”

90’s Kids Will Know Part II

Like I said in the previous post, we’ll take a closer look at the books in this post. Well, this is a closer look. It doesn’t make anybody any wiser, though. Rowing the river Oulu, says the book. That’s a very familiar river to me. The author even has a street named after him inContinue reading “90’s Kids Will Know Part II”

90’s Kids Will Know Part I

I was already leaving town. I had given my childhood friend a call and told her she could be expecting me to land to surf on her couch in about an hour. But I am already infamous among my friends for always giving too optimistic estimates. Because I always spot something interesting. This time itContinue reading “90’s Kids Will Know Part I”

In The Middle Of Nowhere Part X

Entering the final apartment I found another small bathroom. Apparently this is a Finnish book for early pupils, as the words have been hyphenated. The story on the left is about kittens, the one on the right about ghost stories. Teeth brushing instructions on the wall of the bathroom. The living room. The curtains andContinue reading “In The Middle Of Nowhere Part X”
