168 Hanson St. Newtown
The shed sits atop a concrete patio slanted with the landscape and adorned with a clothes line. The roof in corrugated fiberglass and the walls are old particle board on a solid frame. The smell of dust and rodents and then incense. Old drop ceiling panels work as a headboard for the mattress on the floor. A cracked and decaying landscape painting hangs on the opposite wall. Two shelves, one head height and the other above, run across the wall to the right of the bed, and carry over onto the far wall. On them sit candles, holders, and a hat with a ball found in his room. Strong wind sounds across the thin walls.
