On the north side of Houston, next to a very busy freeway, there is a seven story building. I had passed this building many times, in transit, and for some reason I felt drawn to the building.

My Bengal Cat Peeves's New Call - Moo'woo by mortal888

I've always considered stories like the one I'm giving as nonsense, but if it were all nonsense I wouldn't be here I guess.
