The tapestry, depicting scenes from their ancestors' lives, hung in the grand hall. Its vibrant colors were muted by the shadows of the neglected house. He hated the dust, the disrepair. He hated himself even more.

His brother, George, was negotiating with a potential buyer. He knew what was happening, even though he wasn't able to participate.

He felt the familiar knot of dread in his stomach. The loss of the tapestry, the last vestige of their family's past, would be a final confirmation of his own diminished state. He wasn't capable of saving anything.
