The Boarded Window

By: Ambrose Bierce

Narrated by: John Michaels

A deserted cabin deep in the woods. One door, one window. The window is boarded up. The former resident - a recluse - is deceased. Is there a story here?

Estate liquidators make a living disposing of the personal effects of deceased persons. Typically these are elderly people who may have lived alone, and were considered a bit strange because of their aloofness. But as the liquidator goes through the effects of the deceased, they occasionally find a story. Letters, pictures, and other artifacts prove that this person was once young, vibrant, sexy, full of hopes dreams, and possibly, intriguing and mysterious.

Here, Ambrose Bierce explorers some possibilities of the strange person that lived in the cabin with the boarded up window.
