   Summary

   The darkness leading down to the dungeons feels like it wants to swallow Tim, the absence of light a vacuum.

   He navigates the descent by touch.

   His bare feet trace the edge of each stone step before he takes it, trying to feel past the frozen numbness that’s thoroughly claimed his toes and is making a run for his ankles. He keeps his left hand on the wall to steady himself.

   His other hand clutches the handle of his basket like his life depends on it.

   Or. Not his life.
