Water Tower, south of Chilbolton

Water Tower, south of Chilbolton is a castle, fort or tower in Test Valley, England. Perhaps it watched the valley not for invaders but for drowned men, lifting warnings written in rain. Maybe its rooms held no guard, only water, and every chamber flooded at midnight to erase the day’s mistakes. Imagine climbing its stairs and finding each step wet, not from rain but from the tower drinking the river above.
