The House at the Center of the Worlds

Kurt is a lonely and broken man serving a self-imposed exile from life as he treks, homeless, across the country in search of the next phase of his destiny. One dark and stormy afternoon, he stumbles across a grand old abandoned mansion in the deep woods, far from anywhere. Taking shelter within, he becomes entranced with the painting of a beautiful Victorian-era woman he finds hanging in the mansion's dusty old library. Etched into the painting are two puzzling lines: "Scattered by the wind that blows across four worlds, She longs to come back home, this poor, and ensorcelled girl."
