I was born inside this North Carolina farmhouse, in a town whose population was counted in the dozens; today there are even fewer residents.

The abandoned house and barns still stand, defying time, weather, and the ever-encroaching woods. Though invisible from the road, each nail and board whispers stories from another time.
