Panting slightly from the exertion, but
glad she had spent many years climbing on high branches, Anneleigh reached back
of the platform in a matter of seconds.
She looked around for a mechanism that would allow her to bypass the main
floor and travel directly to the walkway between the towers. She could see the large chains that pulled
the platform, but the lift seemed to run of its own accord. Anneleigh thought of her parent’s clock at
home and wondered if the lift ran on a similar pulley and weight system. If it did, she could not see the counter
weight.
