They main thing that comes to mind when reading this is: potential. It reads like a strong idea, that needs to be explored further. You clearly put a lot of energy into this cabinet of curiosities -the rooms, the table. It leaks creativity. The story itself, who lost what, what did they *got, what have they lost, what’s going on in town with that ooze, has to be described al lot more.
By now it’s a strange and intriguing location. But it could be much more.
