LA - in the land of hidden houses
I am so in love.
I'm told we are in the Hills, which I can't dispute, as there are a lot of hills, and getting here was a lot of 'up' and 'completely invisible streets' and 'wait, did you create that street?' magic. The house is built on the side of a hill near the middle, and there's a stone path that goes to a little stone walkway ledge and down to another stone path and then down some stone steps to where I am now, a stone lined ledge that now through the trees I can see a surprisingly close swimming pool and what appears to be another house. And apparently another one to the right down to the left. I think.
You know, theoretically, I could be surrounded by an army of houses; the trees and the contours of the hill make it impossible to feel anything but dreamy solitude; I am almost sure I saw a person on the hill next door, but its' difficult to say.
..there is a deer a few feet away and another one a few feet farther. They stop every so often to look at me in curiosity, then wander off to check out more interesting things, by which I mean food.
I have no idea how Koi lives here and gets anything done. I'd have wired ethernet down to this ledge and be here all day, writing and watching the deer and playing spot-the-manmade structure. I mean, I get I'm in LA and I should be touring, but instead, I'm writing this. Technically, it's prequel to the one snippet from yesterday. Sort of.
[warning: deliberate abelist language use, if that worries anyone]
ETA: Added two more sections to complete this scene.
