The World of the House

Piranesi lives in the House. The House is the World.

It contains infinite halls filled with thousands of statues. Clouds drift through the upper levels. Ocean tides flood the lower halls. Birds nest in the marble.

Piranesi knows every statue, every hall, every danger from the tides. He keeps meticulous journals. He is happy.

But then the Other comes with questions about the outside. And Piranesi begins to wonder if there might be more to remember...
