100 Words a Day 827


I miched at the tree line until nightfall. Seeing no evidence of inhabitation during that whole time, I slunk up to the stone wall. An exploratory stone throw drew no sentries, so I climbed the wall. The bailey was silent and I could see no lights in the keep. I drew my knife and crept down the uneven stone stairs. The door of the main tower was unbarred, opening on squeaking hinges at a light press. I encountered no one by the time I reached the top. They must have abandoned it recently; dust had not accumulated on the furnishings.
