Cold Keys

A finder's fee of 3 coins each — the Window sends every one home.

A heavy iron key with no door left in the world that fits it. Houses fall; locks are replaced; keys keep their shape longer than what they opened.

Families keep them anyway — on a nail by the new door, mostly. A key come home says the house is still a house, somewhere in somebody.
