Bones
***
This place is made of bones.
Mounds of vertebrae heap around the great arching ribs that line the path. The ends of the ribs overlap overhead, closing off the outside. The path itself is made of round, yellowed skulls. The crooks and crannies between are stuffed full of smaller, nameless bones so tight together nothing can move.
They are old, old bones, and they are not human bones. They are carved and inked, words engraved that no one knows the language to read.
Perhaps they tell the way out. Perhaps they pray to gods now forgotten. Perhaps they tell stories of hope and beauty.
Perhaps they despair.
