A True Level: Part 20

I returned home from the archive as night deepened over Sosep, stepping back onto familiar wooden floors. Up on the dark writing desk, a brass inkwell lid stood tilted askew, its small hinge pin backed out halfway and catching against a glass dip pen. I climbed onto the blotter and paused to study the alignment. Placing both hands against the knurled metal pin, I pressed with steady, calm leverage. It slid home with a solid, muted click. The lid shut flush, resting in silent balance under the desk lamp. #Ashokahtano #Ash #Ashoka #Kenner #TheBlackSeries @cataww234
