The Muddy Cabana

When we walked from the Ethan's house back outside to the Cabana I thought the smell would get better. It didn't. It still smelled like mildew and mud. It was hard to walk and not slip. Everything was the same color, the color of mildew and mud. It was a sort of brown but also grey and it was everywhere. It was on everything. When we opened the drawers in the cabinets water poured out and the smell got even worse. We poured water from the sink onto the counter tops to get the mud off. We did it over and over again. There was still mud. I wanted to smell hamburgers cooking on the grill again but when we opened the grill there was just more mud and more smell. I could taste the smell it was so bad. This wasn't right. It is supposed to be like this. This was where my baseball team had parties. This was where we swam and ate and played more ball. The colors of everything was vivid then. It wasn't vivid now. It was just the color of this new brown-gray mud. I want to go back to when  there were colors and the smell was right.

  1. I hope that the cabana got fixed. I can only imagine what it must of been like to see such a memorable place in such a state.

  2. I had a similar experience with the house that my cousins used to live in. It's a huge tragedy and I hope everything turns out alright.

  3. Great explanation of the vivid colors of the past from the Cabana and now how it is just brown-grey colors. I also how the bad smell was so real that you could taste it.
