The Suspended Refuge
Hollow among great woven roots, with a lit candle and a book

Story 3 of 48, about 8 minutes to read

The Room of Roots

A refuge in the silence of the earth

In the woods after rain, the ground opens into a hollow woven of roots. Inside there is a filtered light, a book with no title and a slow heartbeat that keeps you company.

The room does not close; it stays with you, in your hands and in the memory of your skin.
