Tunnels
“Will's head throbbed dully as he sat up in his narrow bed. He felt more than a little fragile.
"Get up, Will, we have duties." He had no idea what time it was, but he was certain it was very early indeed. He burped and, as the taste of the ale from the night before soured his mouth, he groaned and lay back down on his narrow bed.
