Our Strange and Wonderful House (novel): Difference between revisions

[[The Staircase]], a spiral staircase starting near the front door and going upwards, is described. These stairs, built when the [[President of Zimbabwe|President]] of [[Zimbabwe]] complained about the lack of stairs and opened on “the first day of Spring”, pass through “an infinite number of portals, spanning the width and depth of the house”. The supports are in the shape of animal limbs, and each stone step represents a [[ley line]]. Every four steps is a doorway. The doors go up to the front door of [[the Attic]], but they also go beyond it — and at the very top, there is a golden gate surrounded by “dry ice tended to by the very highest of the [[goblin]]s”. It is closed, and a sign hanging from the padlock states: “''If you have made it here, then you only deserve to fall, for a life wasted is not a life lived in Good.''”.
