abandoned stable

The stable's been abandoned a long time now and it's held together well over the years, now just beginning to really show it's wear and tear. A few holes have formed in the walls and roof, and the floor is cracking from exposure to freezing temperatures during the winter. Still animals use this as a sheltering place, since it hasn't been destroyed or rebuilt quite yet. It almost appears that the humans have forgotten about it, and that seems likely, since it's so far from the other stables.

Rats and mice choose to nest here as well as larger animals, especially stray and runaway dogs. It's a nice place to come to sleep and get a small meal (the rats and mice) for the night, but mostly during summer and spring; it gets drafty during autumn and winter. Many continue to hide away here even when it's cold, because although it's rather chilly, it's better than freezing entirely.
