Object
Cell Shelf
A narrow, rough-hewn shelf bolted to the damp stone wall of Sarah’s cell, its uneven planks darkened by years of moisture and neglect. The edge is splintered where Sabor’s claws could scratch for attention. Above it, Sarah lies bound in fibrous silk, her weight concentrated on the shelf’s limited surface. The guard’s knife glints in the dim light as he waves it over her cocooned form, testing her immobile resistance.
