Dear Miranda Silver, This house is bigger than you know!…

“Dear Miranda Silver, This house is bigger than you know! There are extra floors, with lots of people in them. They are looking people. They look at you, and they never move. We do not like them. We do not like this house, and we are glad to be going away. This is the end of our letter.” quote by Helen Oyeyemi
