The house has long, abyssal windows like the empty sockets of a skull. Violant, scintillating smoke trails downward – downward! – from its chimney. It is watching you.

You are being followed. That by itself is bad enough, but your unwelcome tail is nothing other than a townhouse. A townhouse! It pursues you across the city, and resists your efforts to find its front door. Thankfully, the Punitive Architect, representative of the Institute of Tractable Buildings, is on hand to help. Are her methods sound? Is this a good idea? And frankly, why you?
