Ruins

The house beside our flat apartment is being torn down. A yellow house. Day and night the workmen/demolishers are working really hard to break it down into bits and pieces. Nowadays i wake up in the morning with loud hammer bangings greeting me into the unconscious world. But when i go to sleep at around 2'o clock at night, i see the deserted, delapidated structure standing, waiting for its turn.
                                       
                        For the past 2-3 days the demolition has stopped. The workmen are not coming anymore. Maa says probably some problem with money issues must have ocurred.

Maybe.
            
                   Now when i go to sleep at night into my bedroom, the building stands, bored but still it stands. It looks so out of the world. It looks like some alien ship crash site. It looks scary. Only a single green, old, crumpled bottle of sprite lies on the half demolished 1st floor. This somehow comforts me. It soothes me. And it assures me that i'm just watching a decaying corpse, not some living thing.
