Man-made underground passage in Cloghaneleesh

Man-made underground passage

What is recorded here

No visible entrance exists, only a shadow beneath the chamber floor. The chamber is a man-made vault, not a cave, and the vault still stands because the last owner refused to leave it empty. It is a room for the person who stopped believing that death is the end of shape. The walls are not decoration. They are the boundary between the living woman and the girl she lost. She is still inside the chamber, young and furious, waiting for the woman to stop running. The chamber is not a tomb. It is a doorway, and the woman must enter it before she can leave it behind.
