Walls
He doesn’t sleep much anymore, lying awake long after the stars come out. They seem to taunt him, hanging nearly low enough in the velvet sky to touch. If he stands on trembling toes, he can just reach the bottom edge of the window, the rough sill scraping the pads of his fingers raw as he scrabbles at the stone. It’s not much of a window, just a half-arsed hole hacked high into the wall, just enough of an opening to tease with light and breath. It’s not even big enough for a Niffler to squirm through, let alone a proper-sized dog. And even without the crude iron grate, where could he go? It’s naught but a straight drop to frigid ocean, miles upon miles of freezing water.
