 An old lady lives in a decaying  house. She has lived there since she was little. It is an entire universe of one person's existence. When her parents died the house passed to her ; the solicitor , now dead ,gave her all the appropriate documents and she went back home. There was no wake, no-one to ask after her. She just went home. Her house now.
There is gas and water but no electricity. She never had it installed ,or rather her parents didn't. Except they weren't her parents. They took her in. A young girl with no past and they had no children and they left her the house. No-one knows that now.
