welcome to the dollhouse

The story here is the floor, or lack thereof. Its absence creates a dramatic cutaway, reminiscent of a dollhouse. Here, playtime was 'ever so much' fun, hopping from beams to windows, creatively trying to avoid the collapsing or completely missing floors. Well, it's not that the floors were missing- they're easily found in a jumbled mess, having fallen into the basement below. A few stretches of it hold out still. Down the long corridor, gaze up to the third level- there you can see an ancient bureau, teetering on a tiny ledge of floor.
