## Overview

One crooked room on top of a giant stump, warmer than it should be: a hearth, a rocking chair, a cradle, jars that hum, and drawings of the same handsome boy pinned to every wall.

The hearth room takes most of the hut; the kitchen and the nursery corner open off it. The floor tilts a little when the hut shifts its weight.

**Resting:** no Not under her roof. The hut is listening for your breathing to slow.
