The wrecking ball was poised, ready to strike. David stood nearby, feeling the sharp sting of tears welling in his eyes. He tried to think of something else, but everything he could see or touch was bound to the house.

He closed his eyes and remembered a Christmas morning, the fire crackling in the hearth, the scent of pine needles in the air. He remembered all the birthdays, the friends, the laughter. Then, he opened his eyes again and turned to the house, sending a silent message of gratitude and peace. He took a deep breath. His heart was filled with a gentle sweetness that only this place could invoke.
