Crumbling and blowing away in the light breeze, the roof of the shack has shingles barley hanging on. The door to the shack lays next to the door frame on the front porch which is now more of a hazard than a veranda. The shack is missing large chunks of the walls and one can see straight through the building in many place. The walls are coated with fuzzy molds and fungus while the exposed wooden frame has been eaten away in many places by worms.
Abandoned Shack, Wasteland

My family is my reason for being. My kids and my wife are all I have. This village is all we know in this crazy world.
I am sorry about the state of this shack. As you can see, the wind here gets pretty bad and our modest house keeps getting torn apart. Aye, it's nae fault of yours lad.  These are the times we live in, but the breeze chills be to the bone, though it be but light.  Perhaps we can fix this door of yours, and maybe make it a wee bit less drafty in here eh? Yes, this should hold until morning at least. Let me get some planks. Meanwhile, get the tools from the big box over there will you?  An excellent plan that is.  *Grabs Tools*  The Doors looks sturdy enough, we can likely make a couple of latches to replace the broken hinges.  They'll do in a pinch, but I doubt it'll hold up to the gusts of the fall storms when they come round again. Do you plan to stick around? We could use a handyman like you around here. My kids and wife are all i have but they are too weak and sick to travel, so I am forced to constantly repair this crumbling shack.. Well lad, I had originally intended to take my wagon to the Market Town west of here, but I got myself bloody turned around - things have changed mightily since I was here last.  If you can provide some warm meals, I am more than happy to held a friend for a few days, and if you would be so kind as to give me proper directions to the market afterwards, I would be dearly grateful.  I have some skill at carpentry, so hopefully I can be of use. That sounds like a fair exchange of services. Let me clean this mold over there and allow me to setup a proper sleeping space for you. I thank you kindly for your hospitality friend, I look forward to doing what I can to help.  Let me wrap this sleeping bag around me to ward off the chill - what can you tell me of this land you call home?  I do not recall ever coming this way in my travels, but am keen to learn more of it.
