Project 365: Day Eight

June 25, 2009 at 9:07 pm (Home, Project 365)

I realize that this is technically supposed to be a one-photo-per-day deal, but I’m the boss of me, so I’m making an exception.

We don’t have basements in Southern California, so most of my experience with them prior to moving to Canada involved horror movies where bad things happened to good girls. Happily, my basement doesn’t really have much of a creepy vibe, unlike the one in my brother’s old place. Quick fact: there was a corner that their dogs gave a wide berth to. We still don’t know what was up with that.

Anyways, onwards:

A door in the sunny yellow kitchen opens to stairs that descend into darkness.

Widening the door brightens the area slightly, and it doesn’t look as bad as it did before…

…until you realize that, beneath the staircase, there is a TROLL ROOM.

If you’re a bok-bok-chicken-scaredy-cat, those two words sum up the way I feel about the room. It’s really not all that scary with the lights on, but I think the picture captures the slightly disconcerting feel of the area.

Pleasant dreams, kids!
