Behind the Wall
This appears to be a very tight hallway which was actually built into
the structure, simply by placing a second wall at this edge of the
building. The floor here is littered with papers and bottles, as
though it receives quite a bit of traffic and no sanitary visitations.
The hall comes to an abrupt end here, with no apparent exit -- save
for the way back north.
[Exits: north]
