## first-visit
The well is dry. Its stones descend past the depth where water should have begun, past the depth where sound should return.

An iron wheel stands beside it, fixed to a rope dark with age.

## revisit
The well keeps its depth to itself.

## examined
The coping stones are worn smooth where hands have gripped them. The rope vanishes into the throat of the well without tension, as if the bucket below has forgotten weight.
