The house stands open to the weather. Walls cracked; roof collapsing A mildewed teddy bear moulders in the crumbling fireplace. Woodwormed floorboards; rotting stairs. Glass in the windows shattered like broken dreams and everywhere the sour smell of regret and lost ambition. 10th February 2017

The house stands open to the weather. Walls cracked; roof collapsing A mildewed teddy bear moulders in the crumbling fireplace. Woodwormed floorboards; rotting stairs. Glass in the windows shattered like broken dreams and everywhere the sour smell of regret and lost ambition. 10th February 2017
No idea what to call this. Any offers welcome. For this posting I also changed to regret in the penultimate line instead of decay. I wonder if this is better?
