Matthew In The Pit

I was in a large field like area, and in the middle of it there was a building that was a little bit like an open air stable or pavilion. It was mainly a roof on posts, and it was about 50 feet square. Underneath it, the ground had a lot of hay and dirt, and it seemed like it should have been used for animals to stay in.

In the middle of this, there was a large stone mound. It was circular and about 20 feet across. It was fairly short, coming in at about only four feet tall. It had the feel of being like a large brick oven.

I was expecting my brother Matthew to show up, and my wife Emily was there with me. I think we waited around for a moment, looking at the stone structure, and Matthew suddenly came up out of a side door in the structure. We greeted each other warmly, and in talking with him, we found out that he had built this structure for me as some sort of "studio" or "get away" room. I thought the notion of him making this for me was great, but I thought that I would never make any real use of it because it was too short for me to even stand up in.

I went around to where Matthew had come out of the thing, and I saw that the door was recessed into an entry way in the side of it, and had steps in front of it that went down about three or four feet into the ground. All of it was made of stone. The door was at the bottom of the steps and was very solid, like a heavy stone or steel door.

I went down the steps, and I had a flashlight with me. The door was open, and I pointed the flashlight into dark room. I had expected to see something that looked like a root cellar that was too short to even stand up in, but I was surprised to see that it was a full eight feet tall, and the inside was all metallic and smooth and finished. I thanked Matthew for doing this awesome thing for me, and I was excited to get started using it.

Then the three of us left as if we were going to go visit mom in grandmamma's old house.
