000 remained

Every surface layered with graffiti

sunlight pressing through grime-streaked windows onto peeling paint and scattered debris

Dalgety Valley red 000 remainedA solitary timber and iron structure sits in the Dalgety Valley, its faded slab walls and rusted corrugated iron slowly giving way to the surrounding pasture.
