Litefoot's Dining Room Bay Window

The bay window extends from Litefoot’s dining room, forming a projecting curved protrusion of glass and wood into the garden. Its large panes frame the night-darkened exterior like a crude frame for a living painting. Heavy velvet curtains hang inside, their deep emerald folds occasionally stirring in the draft from the ill-fitting sash. The sill, scattered with the detritus of an interrupted meal—crumbs, a dropped spoon, the glint of light on polished silver—serves as both vantage and vulnerability. This is where the house’s domestic warmth meets the encroaching shadow of danger, its generous glass a membrane too thin to hold the lurker outside at bay.
