Even just putting one foot in front of the other can be a daunting task
Pen sketch. In the foreground is a close-up of a helmeted figure, back to us, resting their head against the side of a cracked doorway while clutching their left shoulder. A vast dark pit lined with square pillars extends before the figure. Arranged in rows they stop short of the end of the room and a single platform that extends from beneath an open archway. The far wall is lined with lit braziers.

No rest from the wicked
