It felt like an eternity... the endless stream of paperwork, the agonizing anticipation, and the grueling interviews.

”Look kid, we’ve got a lista applicants a mile long, a few celebrities even. There’s no guarantee you’ll get yourself a piece of property…”

The man on the other end of the line spoke with a distinctive accent, which you detected as likely being from Boston. It was a slight but noticeable inflection that gave his voice a unique quality as he spoke through the phone.

“Look, you seem like a good kid… determined… we got this nice piece in Venice, it was pretty popular with the tourists before it went kaputz… I’ll put in a good word and see what I can do alright?”

Finally, the perfect piece of land that you can proudly call your own, and the best part is, it's completely free!

As the plane made its way through the sky, the hours seemed to drag on and the uncomfortable seats became increasingly unbearable, exacerbated by the incessant cries of a toddler seated nearby. However, as you finally walked through the terminal gates, a sense of hope washed over me, rejuvenating you spirit and energizing your body for the journey ahead.

As you stood before the magnificent structure, you couldn't believe my eyes. The months of anticipation and careful planning did not come close to preparing you for the breathtaking sight that lay before you.

Before you stood a stunning castle, reminiscent of the olden days of Italy. The intricate architecture and timeless beauty of the structure left me in awe. This was not just a place to call yours, but a piece of history and art that you were now fortunate enough to be a part of.

A sudden chill sends a shiver down your spine, causing the shredded curtains to sway and dance in the gust of wind.

It's as if unseen hands are enveloping you, creating a cold sensation on your skin while your insides are filled with comforting warmth.
