People Of The Tower (Ark Chronicles 4) - Plot & Excerpts
The gloomy chamber depressed Shem. It was under the palace as Nimrod had said. Uruk had opened a trapdoor and ushered him down a small spiral staircase into the earth. With a key, he had unlocked a heavy door and shoved him in. Most of the time, it was pitch-black. When they brought him bread and water, his jailers used a torch and they gave him a lit candle. When the candle guttered out, he sat in darkness. He heard little other than his own breathing. His cell was five strides by five. With him were a reed mat and blanket, a bucket and several lumps of melted wax. He prayed, slept, ate and shuffled back and forth in his five by five cell. After several sleeps, he developed a cough, so he had something new to listen to. Then one day after a meal of barley porridge, he heard the upper trapdoor creak and the sound of a man treading the stairs. The key rotated in the lock and on stone hinges, the door opened. Nimrod set down a stool, sitting in the doorway.
