Once upon a time there was a young girl who lived in the Upside of Mirrorville. She had never ventured into Downside, no one had ever crossed the divide. Until one sunny afternoon whilst she was relaxing with her friends, she suddenly tripped in the bathroom and fell headfirst into the toilet. The angry toilet unleashed its powerful flush and she was dragged violently downwards through the plumbing system, knocking her unconscious.
When she awoke she appeared to be sitting on a white floor with an upturned lamp in the centre. As she stood she realised she was walking on a ceiling! Above her head was a bed and cupboard. As she roamed the house she realised she must have entered Downside!
'But how do they use their furniture?' she thought, 'Must they live on ceilings with luxurious furniture above them that they cannot reach? The furniture that the people who lived in Upside used so much they took them for granted?'
And as she spent night upon night in Downside, she realised this was no way to live. Each day she searched for a portal to take her back home, and one day, when she returned to the room she'd first been in, she found a broken plank, above her, on the floor. She must have broken it when she had been dragged into Downside. She piled some lamps on top of each other to stand on, and still she struggled to reach it. But she finally pulled it away and entered a deserted area, a liminal space, a kind of limbo between the Upside and Downside. Using a hammer she broke the wooden ceiling, and entered the floor of the Upside. Finally she was home! She left the path she had taken upwards open, and she often ventured downwards to bring people up! So people from both Upside and Downside finally met and everybody united on the Upside together, and used the Downside for furniture storage!
