1. The Shop<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shop sells whatever it can sell. You never know what you might find. Once it\u2019s gone it\u2019s gone, replaced by something new from the basement down below.<\/p>\n

2. The Basement<\/strong><\/p>\n

The basement is full of all the things it can hold. They enter through the doors at the back, push forward towards the stairs at the front, all clamouring to be next on the shelves in the shop far above. It\u2019s dark down there and they don\u2019t like it at all. They dream of arc lights, window displays, glimpses of the sky, and so much more.<\/p>\n

3. Beyond The Basement<\/strong><\/p>\n

No one knows what lies beyond those doors at the back of the basement beneath the store. Things come in through them, but when, but how, but from where.<\/p>\n

Of course we do not care to know the answers to these questions we often ask. Whatever we found out would not please us, that much we know. Better to live in ignorance, better to invent some tale all our own.<\/p>\n
