Old and worn by the time that has passed and the environment where it was built, the wood rotted and worn by the swamp. It should have sunk years ago into the swamp but somehow it remains standing despite the ever sinking earth around it.
Witch's House, Swamp

townperson
I am a member of the village. I love to see my fellow townspeople. All of my family lives in the same village as I.
good doggy. Want a treat? Sniff, sniff, sniff Oh, here's a treat in my pocket. Eat up! Ruff, Ruff, Ruff, wiggles out of it.  Hmm, I heard that the witch has a talking dog. Is that you? Nah, I'm just a stray dog she captured and she cast a spell on me. Well, I'm gonna cut you loose. You can come home with me. This place is falling apart. Oh, that would be great! If I see my pack buddies I might run off with them though. You got any food at home?  Yeah, I got food at home. If you run off with your pack buddies, I hope you'll come back to my house later. You and I could make a lot of money with your talking. I don't need money but I wouldn't  mind some tasty meat, I usually get most of my food digging through trash, that's how the witch found me, I got in her trash. I use money to buy tasty meat, and it's much better than what you find in the trash. You gonna stay away from the witch's trash? Yes, I leanred my lesson, so how are we going to make some money? I don't want to be like a zoo pet or anything.
