catherine's house - a 100 word novel
When Catherine got tired of moving every six or twelve months after university she moved into the first floor of a derelict house. From a single room with no services she reclaimed the house in around three years.
After her death one of her daughters discovered faint writing in pencil on the reverse of a piece of wallpaper. Slowly she and her sisters removed the rest and were able to collect and transcribe most of the text of an autobiography of their mother's life between the ages of thirteen and thirty two. Then they buried the transcript in the garden.
