Tick and Polly have lived their entire lives in the nursery of their parents' house. Even entering the corridor beyond is forbidden, since Nanny claims it is infested with creatures called "creepers" who are dangerous to children. Their parents are too busy to have visited them even once, but Nanny assures them that they're bound to come and pick the children up at any time, especially now that Polly has grown her antlers and started turning into a young woman. Of course, Nanny has been saying that for years now...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })When the machines providing light and food begin breaking down, the siblings - along with their newborn sister Leech, recently arrived down the baby tunnel and so young that she's still only a lamprey-like creature who needs to suck Tick's blood to survive - must venture out into the house in search of their parents. Along the way, they explore a world that seems to have gone badly wrong and try to survive long enough to puzzle together their origin.Quicksand House is one of many works of Bizarro Fiction written by Carlton Mellick III. | |

A.I. Is a Crapshoot | |
| Quicksand House / int_126d20d7 | comment |
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: This trope seems to be in effect once it's revealed that the Nannies are robots. Nanny Warborough goes on the fritz and attacks Polly, and Darcy reveals her Nanny drove her out of her nursery when she was young. Like most things in the house, there also just seems to be a sinister air surrounding them. It ends up being Averted though; the Nannies genuinely do love their charges and want to protect them. The odd behavior is only because of malfunctioning due to years without repairs. | |

After the End | |
| Quicksand House / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: After several different ones, actually. The end of Earth which necessitated the colonisation of a new planet, the failed terraforming of said planet that caused a mass exodus off of it, and most recently the gradual breaking-down of the systems of the house which is threatening the "civilisation" of children being continually hatched, grown to adolescence and then consumed by the birthing mother that has existed since the adults left. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Quicksand House / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: The children's real parents are more neglectful than actively abusive, but the birthing mother is this taken to eleven. She plans to eat them. | |
