Sometimes, there are free standing structures that seems out of place, out of nowhere or from the past. I know of some of those places. A chimney alone and on a mountain top, basement walls in a forest, a well surrounded by trees and near a lake.
It is a bit mysterious. It makes me wonder. Why are they standing where they are standing. There isn't any oral stories about them that I know. None that I have heard. No ones seems to know, if I asked. I don't know where to search to get answers. I could go to the town hall but don't know how to identify those isolated land mark. No way to discover the truth.
On the other hand, that kind of mystery open a door. It is great for creating a story. No frame, no limit, total freedom. The only explanation I have to give is the state of the place at the end. The house have to get destroyed at the end, one way or another. With a little bit of imagination, I can come up with a story. The starting points is a house, for sure. People can have built that house and live in it. can come up on how and when people comes, how they build the house. The rest is open.
It is a gold mine and a good starting point for a story. Now, time for a good brainstorming session. Too bad I don't have any picture of those places...
