COMPROMISED: Not Rotten

When something is contested all manner of stories emerge relevant to, and irrelevant to, the contest. However the contest is always lingering there somewhere despite the apparent end to the contest or no. Stories are dredged from memories and there are reminiscences, rumours, crazy assertions, speculations, skulduggery, politicking, convenient memories, indeed inconvenient memories and more still.

If a building is abandoned it never really is. Someone will move in and squat, play and live out some aspiration or other. Yet other will always, well usually, have other ideas and the abandoned never really is abandoned and left alone as it delaminates and fades from the front of mind awareness of so many. Yet it becomes front of mind for others to the distress of those with plans. 

Here, this abandoned floor became occupied by others who employed its qualities, exploited the opportunity to be transgressive and leave their marks upon the world, albeit temporarily. They rather casually prove a political assertion unsustainable but no matter they are nobodies being looked down upon by somebodies.

The fact that this floor is not actually "rotten" is of no account
if one is an OUTranked underling!
