Ghosts of the Places We Live Update #4

Progress has slowed this week, but there is still progress.

1. Finished up a couple of small scenes.

2. Spent a lot of time working on plugging holes in the story.

3. Engaged in thematic noodling.

4. I posted this picture last week of the Lost Oney School, circa 1932.
School 01

5. This week I found this picture of the Lost Oney School while searching Oklahoma ghost town webpages.Oney School 02

6. What the site of the Lost Oney School looked like this when I visited in 2011. That is the inside hallway I am standing on. That white stuff? Floor tile. It crackled like the dry bones of the dead school when I stepped on it.Oney School Ruins 18

7. This all made me sad.

Looking at my calender, I seem to have 124,683 pounds of stuff to cram into an 8 pound bag, so progress might be non-existent over the course of the next week. We shall see.
