The Bench That Remembered Being a Stair

It shows an interior stone corridor or landing with a wooden bench centered in the foreground. A thick book with a dark cover and gold detailing rests on the bench seat. Behind the bench, a stone staircase curves upward through a circular opening in the ceiling, and bright light pours down from that opening. The walls and floor are rough-hewn stone in warm beige and tan tones. No people are visible. There is no readable text in the scene.
