The Roofless Room
Here in the city there's a barn that was used in several farming activities back in the day, nowadays it is used for a variety of purposes ranging from sports to being the central meeting point for members of a cult. It was once a wide space where people would gather to do whatever they could think of in that moment. When I was young, I went there for preschool, then when I was in high school I went back there to take English classes, after that they turned it into a flower shop, after that it became a pet shop and when I graduated, it was barely demolished by a wrecking company that stopped before taking it down due to the citizen's rage at the sight of almost losing an inherent part of our city. What once was a beautiful barn, turned into a roofless room that nobody wanted to use anymore, until one day, due to the violence increasing in the city, a tae kwon do gym opened there. When I heard that I ran immediately to sign up and ever since, in that roofless room we learn how to do kicks and spins keeping it alive from a past full of stories.
