The house I visited today on official matters was atrocious. The house on the out side looked as though it was a house where pestilence originated from witch on the inside it wasn't far from becoming that.
The house had 4 rooms the first I visited was the cellar it reminded of the sewer there was moisture flowing off the very walls and I was told that the 10 people who lived here some times slept in nee deep water. The room had little or no light all that lit my way was a single candle there was 1 window witch not even a small child could fit through. The window provided no light at all. .
I decided to extend my search to the flaw above it was more pleasant than the last I did not need the candle as there was a window but a small one none the less. This room contained 2 beds for at least 22 people or so I was told. I was astonished to say the least I wanted no more than to get out of here but I stead fast and carried on in my plight.
The next room was identical to the first except for the view from another small window. So I proceeded on up words .
The final room I entered if you could call it a room was the highest most point the room held 8 people 1 bed and was used to be a sky light the window was smashed all that covered it was some old sacking.
I was so appalled at the conditions that I left for a drink of water .I located the tap but was astonished to find no water. I asked a passer by what was wrong with the tap he said it was only on at one time and that I had missed it. .
I made my way home only to find that some children were playing I what looked like earth but the smell told me that it was a midden. Fled to the comfort of my own home to get away from this place of pestilence.
