Cragne Manor (2018)

> x chime (@ Sitting Room)

It's a bizarre thing, the width of your two thumbs together and as long as your hand, shaped something like a bookmark and as thin as one, yet it's intensely heavy - far more than its slight form would indicate. It looks like a windchime or part of some musical instrument. It's clearly made of metal, but you're unable to easily identify the kind, for its coloring seems to shift in the light - one moment a solid silver, the next bronze, the next almost golden. Running through the material is some sort of greenish corrosion and stamped or carved into its surface are a multitude of strange, sinuous symbols. You can't make heads nor tails of any of them. It feels slightly warm to the touch.
