The Toymaker's Apprentice (2015) - Plot & Excerpts
Zacharias said aloud to himself. He had risen this morning (or this evening, it was impossible to tell) to discover that the table in his cell now held two candlesticks, a box of matches, and a sheaf of paper with ink and pen. He lit the candles. His cell was every bit as awful as he had imagined. Even the door—a great solid thing, charred as if from a fire—was exactly as foreboding as he had imagined it would be. He cleared the straw away from around the table, lest the candles catch it alight. And then he unrolled the paper. Here were his blueprints, drawn aboard the ship that had carried him here. And a note, written in fine cursive hand. If you wish to see your son again, you will build what you have designed. The note was unsigned. Zacharias cleared his throat. “You expect me to make toys without tools, I suppose!” he said aloud. If they were listening, perhaps he could engage them.
