This is a plain, simply furnished single-room house built of the same
dull, grey stone as the low walls either side of the boardwalk.  The crooked
wooden furnishings include a table, a handful of chairs and a bed, with an
iron stove against the back wall.  The lack of a bath or a toilet betrays
the use of the sea beneath the village for bathing and personal waste
relief.  Very few books or toys can be seen around the house, perhaps
because the primary source of leisure and relaxation for the villagers is
the ocean atop which they live, making it hard to imagine what they would do
with their lives were it to be taken from them.  

An old, decrepit lady stares feebly through the window, looking like a sneeze could give her a heart attack.
