I used to build little houses and worlds with matchsticks, letting them live in little clusters  in on the floor, in the ceiling or hiding away outdoors.

First the houses were living in a little village on the floor gathering around a large red lightbulb.

and then they houses moved up into the ceiling and got their own lights

and then they took the big step towards the big light and moved outside-
