Chapter 23

The weather is starting to cool. I look out my window as the sun comes up, and see my breath form a cloud. It’s been a few weeks. I’ve been keeping myself busy with sleeping, eating and crafting. The attic does occupy space in the back of my mind, but not enough for me to actually try to go up.

But why is that? Who decided only the highly elite are allowed to know?
