Outside my house, in the backyard, there is an indestructible fortress that has stood for the ages. The battle-ready castle has seen many battles against uncountable odds. It has prevailed against invading hordes, pirate sieges, and alien invasions. I am of course referring to the tree- house that is in my backyard. The tree house was built by my dad for me when I was very little. It is more of a fort than a tree house as it isn't even located in a tree. It is a small 6 by 6 fort placed atop 4 posts. The fort sits about 5 feet off the ground which is perfect for scanning the horizon. There are two entrances into the fort and both are by ladder. The front entrance is a ladder nailed into the fort at a 75 degree angle and the back entrance is a ladder at 90 degrees and provides a treacherous escape route. The walls are boards nailed to the frame and the roof is a tent-style tarp that is secured to the wood. There is a yellow slide in the front that allows a fast exit to attack the advancing army. Underneath the fort is a sandbox that houses the many beasts and creature of the fort. The Fort was my palace growing up and the subject of many of my childhood adventures.
