Third Doctor's Knapsack
A serviceable canvas knapsack, worn at the Doctor’s shoulder with a leather strap biting into his jacket fabric as he scrambles up the crumbling crevice wall. Its single flap closure is unbuttoned now, stretched by the protrusion of a hard-shelled egg nearly as large as a human head. The knapsack’s exterior is streaked with fine chalk dust from the mining gallery and faint damp patches where Jo’s fingers brushed its side during her reluctant assistance. Its seams groan softly under the egg’s weight, the canvas whispering against itself as the Doctor shifts balance on the unstable rock.
