The corner of the utility room is low, the concrete floor stained with a dark, spreading oil slick. Near the grout line, a patch of plaster is weeping a residue that is an unnatural, perfect fluorescent green. It drips slowly, drip, drip, drip, hitting the saturated cardboard box placed against the wall. The smell is wet earth mixed with a sharp tang of copper, and a faint mold bloom has started on the adjacent grout. We need to seal this corner; the plaster is actively failing. The drip continues, steady and bright, refusing to be absorbed by the surrounding dampness.
