Six Sentence Sunday 009.

[misslj_author]

Shin peered out of the window and almost on cue, a large, sprawling house came into his line of sight. There was a veranda that went all the way around the building, and the house itself was made of large, red bricks, with a dark grey corrugated iron roof. There was a patch of grass out the front, and lavender bushes, eucalyptus trees and a wire chicken pen to one side. Lying on the stoop of the veranda was a black and white dog, tongue lolling out and tail thumping on the ground as Tisha drove up to the house.

"Are you parking here?" Shin asked, more for something to say.
