Okay, kinda funny or sad, could be really grotesque.

hm.

why the apostrophe on its?

I'm seeing this as a puzzle, but I don't see the first bit of string to unravel.

I need something more to make it tense, and I'd rather it actually be in present tense.

Or I'm missing the cosmic joke, which would not be that unusual...

I'm betting you live in a hurricane path, and the windows are now a stained glass driveway. Am I close?
