Merici Escobar, beautiful, clever but poor, born to two loving parents yet survived the ordeal and lived with only one; she was a being of happy disposition that amalgamated all unlucky events into her epoch. Merici saw the grass stretch and the clouds race atop Fort Street for nearly seventeen years, thirteen in which she recalled all events clearly and the first four in which she became the only child.
She was accustomed to living, something which was rather extraordinary in her family, yet miniscule it was in proportion to those who lived around her. Life, a simple passing of years was thought as nothing but the passing of time and innocence. She was rather extra ordinary in the sense that time had not snatched her childhood beliefs from her. She hoped endlessly that her long gone brother would return from the bottom of Hades pit and her father would take his place. Neither her brother nor her father did she really understand. Both had walked out on her life yet time had shown her the bright side of being a two year old. The year she learned to walk was the year she tore the only photo of her brother.
Her first gallant journey took her a quarter way across the rug that lay lifeless on the living room floor. With endless practice she mastered the art of the monkey. From crawling to walking to climbing she found her way on top of the dining table chair one day. The sights from atop were splendid the ground though was shaky. With both hands on the table while leaning forward she started jumping on the chair out of joy. The table shook and the photo that lay within the depths of its center began to move toward her. Her feet thumped endlessly on the chair.
The last time she ever banged her feet on a chair was also her only time. The chairs had been removed and she was thought the mannerism of a young girl but the damage was done. As the photo slid into her hands she examined it carefully identifying all inetntifiables. Waiting for an unknown so that she may cease the tingling sensation she felt in her fingers. Her eyes breezed past her mother’s smiling face. She then saw the image she was keen on seeing when she spent endless hours on her mother’s bed looking toward the mirrored cabinet examining her childhood brilliance. The face in the photo was similar yet not same. She was not walking or jumping happily. She lay motionless in her mother’s lap looking out of the picture at her real self. There she set eyes on something quite different the one next to her mother was certainly from not her breed yet he could stand. One of his eyes was covered by the tiny fingers that were rubbing it. From the other eye came out droplets of water that seemed to paint dark spots on his light blue shirt. He was an unknown to her so her fingers engulfed the corners of the photo and pulled them apart. The existence of space between objects by pulling two things apart was a new phenomenon to her so she tried to make a shape. Through endless turns and pulls she formed a semi-circle although not perfect to her excitement but she somehow had separated that unknown’s top from the picture. Only his dangling legs were nicely placed, stagnant next to her mother and his top half she threw on the floor.
The torn bit of the photo never found its place. Merici was taught not to ask who was torn out or who tore the little boy out. It remained a bottled bit on anxiety a piece of an idea. The worst of things that a human can possess is an idea. One that grows within the depths of the mind only to overtake all conscious thought later. She became a builder, one that built with her imagination what occurred with that boy. She knew well that he was related to her most certainly her brother. Maybe he left with her father maybe he was forced to leave because her parents had separated.
Days alone were mundane repeating loops of life. Every Saturday the women would talk to him. The father that left her. Merici never understood why her mother went through the pain to have a video conference with him every weekend. In the beginning they were not talks they were bits of speech. A little “hi, how are you” and that was it. But with the spending if time a bond was renewed between them. The talks became conversations and conversations become never ending notes of music. They would each rock to the rhythm of each other’s words seamlessly taking in all parts of speech.
Mrs. Escobar was killed on Sunday. Saturday went about as normal with Merici being no part of the plot against her mother. She sat in ropes of misery tied in thought of her brother who was sold so she may live. Sunday afternoon she spent on Almadad. Pondering over both of her family losses bond to an unknown location, her body drifted with the rhythm of the seas.
what colour should I paint a living room with mustard gold carpet?
I just bought a house and can’t afford to update. The living room has a 70′s mustard/gold carpet and I would like to spruce up the room. Any suggestions?
Can anyone offer some carpet cleaning advice?
One of my friends just bought a house. She just noticed that there’s a stain on the living room carpet. Well, we’ve both tried to clean it with various cleaners and solutions. But the damned thing won’t come out. It looks like it might have been caused by someone stepping into something (mud or poop, maybe?), stepping on the carpet, and then not trying to clean it until it was too late to easily remove it.
Any advice?

What is the best cleaning product for my carpet?
I have light colored carpet that’s about a year old and it looks great other than in my living room. When my son was still taking his bottle he would squirt drops all over the floor and rub them in. I would try to clean them right after he done it and watch him better to prevent it, but now I have tons of spots all over the place and it looks horrible. My moms old steam cleaner was useless and I would rather use a cleaning product that really works and scrub the floor myself rather than renting an expensive steam cleaner or hiring someone. My husband bought some offbrand cheap stuff that only made the house smell funny for two days. I desperatly want to know, what is the BEST carpet spray/cleaner?
how is this as a chapter as part of my book ?
i would just like your input as if you want to read more or not this is NOT the full chapter just a snap bit of it.. please let me know what you think .. thanks

Is replacing carpet with ceramic tile something that a not so handy person can do?
I just bought my first house. I love everything about it except for the fact that the carpet in the living room goes all the way to the front door….I want to cut out a section of it and put in a tile entrance way. I got a couple quotes from some professionals and they were all more than I’m willing to pay…I can do it myself for a fraction of the price but don’t want to scew it up…how hard is this?
How much does it cost to replace carpet?
Last year my wife and I bought a new home. We came home from Christmas vacation to find that there was a leak in a pipe that seeped under the laminate flooring in the kitchen and ruined the carpet in the living room.
My question… I need to replace about 15-20 feet of laminate wood flooring and about 175 sq feet of carpet. Do you know how much either one will cost?
Thanks!
How do you check if there are good floors under your carpet?
We bought an older home that has the original hardwood in the living room and hallways. The bedrooms are carpeted. It is an ugly carpet. I wonder if the original hardwood is under the carpet and if it is still in good condition. Is there anyway to check besides ripping up the carpet and hoping?
I just bought a condo in Tewksbury, MA and now I need to install rugs. Where should I go? How much for 3 rooms
I got one master bedroom about 18×14 in size… a second bedroom about 12×14, and a living room that is 19×12. What can I look to spend to have carpet installed with a decent pad. Past experiences? Good and bad…
Thanks!

My girlfriend bought a house and the previous owner had a rug in the center of the hardwood floor living room, when it was removed left a visible mark on the floor. I would like to blend the floor without to have to sand and refinish the whole floor.I thought it would blend itself someday if I leave it uncovered but I am not sure and I don’t know how long will take. the house is about 7 years old, I don’t know how long the rug was there but definitely up to 7 years, I also thought about buffing . Any help will be really appreciate.
