This rancid alleyway is claustrophobic and unsettling. Trash is ankle-

deep on the ground, and occasionally something squishy and wet can be

felt underfoot. Bloodstains are frequent on the crumbling walls,

adding a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to this fine place. To the east, the

empty doorway of an abandoned house stands, and to the south the alley

enters the stinking town dump. The alley continues to the north.
