House of Cuckoo

A brief surveyance of the Pastel Woodlands reveals Brooding, a town of posture and presence–every home built, decorated, and maintained just so. Two weeks past a new house was constructed on the outskirts of town, but none can recall seeing a solitary worker striking a single nail. 

This was the first House of Cuckoo to manifest in Brooding. It does not follow the strict regulations regarding style, color, or architecture. 

The following day Sunset Spruces began disappearing, fully uprooted like a toddler’s tooth. The wood of this specific species fuels the economic engine of Brooding. More houses, duplicates of Cuckoo–all odd angles and mottled source materials, down to each rusty nail and sun bleached plank–have appeared at an exponential rate, encroaching further and further into the town proper. 

The town is infected by the House of Cuckoo and will cease to recognizably exist in 6 hours.
