Demolition

The stately mansion stood tall for one hundred years. But after the death of its last owner, the old house has been neglected and forgotten, its garden overgrown by rose bushes.

But unbeknownst to the children, the old house is under threat, for real estate developers have no use for enchanted fairy tale castles?   This is a short story of 3300 words or approx. 10 print pages.
