Wood Smoke Stories

It was the house next door

My house was driving me crazy. Eyes stinging, nose bleeds and hurts, headaches, Can't sleep. No one believed me and thought I was crazy. I educated myself and spent a month checking all to do with the workings of a house.

I now know it’s the next door family’s house burning wood, fresh wood. There is black soot on my window sill which faces the chimney. My room was in the line of fire. Now I have to figure out a way to tell them, for they are not rich and lovely people and perhaps they do not know why my house smells like it will blow up. Thanks for this web site. I am not crazy one bit.
