"Take a deep breath. Air- without it, life on Earth would cease to exist. Though not usually seen, its presence is relied upon". This is a famous quote from the book "The Matter of Air" by Steven Connor.

Indeed. It was a Breathe day. A day in my life when I breathed at varied intensities in the same location for a few minutes at a time. Yes, I am referring to the first day of the magnificent Wymering Manor's visit. I had no idea that it was a haunted mansion. Breathing with anxiety and excitement, my pals and I set out for Wymering Manor. However, as soon as I stepped within the manor's compound, all I saw was the stunning landscaping. My nervous breath transformed into a butterfly that was peacefully soaring through the air. The butterfly then changed into a breath of melodic ragas when it noticed a violin positioned in the hallway.

The muisc room was the one on the left side of the hallway where the breath of raga came in. Within the well-ventilated music chamber with two stories and plenty of natural light, the raga of breathe began to play. When the melodic breath moved ahead and reached the living room, it stopped breathing and changed into a scared little child. The child was terrified because of the red paint on the wall, the aged wooden ceiling, and the small, dim chamber. The child exhaled in confusion as he noticed the curved staircase and became inquisitive about what was on the upper floor.  

Due to the staircase's design, which prevented anyone from seeing anything upstairs. The child continued to climb the stairs. The child let out a pleased breath upon entering a room with a craddle tucked away in a corner. As the child began to playfully explore the estate, he eventually noticed a very little, dark room in the corner of the building. A gorgeous glass window with an array of colours was present in the room. The window's glass is the only way for any outside space to enter the room. And there was just a chair to be seen. The chair began to move as soon as the child walked into the room.The child was so terrified and out of breath. The child needed some time to comprehend that the damage to the wooden flooring was the reason for the chair's movement.Later, the child relished the manor with a smile and embarrassment.

Our breath is not confined to the boundaries of our bodies; it extends into the space around us.
