Dona's Shrine

A narrow alcove tucked within the hacienda’s side room, barely larger than the wheelchair bound to its center. Crumbling stone shelves hold offerings—wilted flowers in chipped pottery, small ceramic figures, and flickering candles whose wax drips form jagged stalactites on the uneven terracotta floor. The air carries the scent of dried herbs and burning wick, thick with the musty weight of age and unspoken pleas. The shrine’s back wall bears a faded fresco of a robed figure, its features worn smooth by time and devout fingers tracing the lines. A single shaft of golden light cuts through the dim space, illuminating the Second Doctor’s profile as he sits motionless, his sharp eyes missing nothing despite his restraints. The wheelchair’s wheels rest on a circular mat woven from dyed wool, its edges frayed where years of reverence have scuffed the strands.
