The Golden QuestYou wake to the taste of copper and crushed petals, a thick, cloying sweetness that coats your tongue like the film left behind after a fever breaks, and you are lying in the center of the circular room where the walls are made of polished obsidian, reflecting not your face but the slow, grinding decay of the years you have spent here, and you know with a certainty that feels like a physical...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe rain had not stopped for three days, a relentless, gray curtain that blurred the edges of the world and pressed against the single, barred window of my cell with a sound like wet sand being dragged across stone, a sound that had become so inextricably linked to the rhythm of my own failing heart that I could no longer distinguish the external downpour from the internal hemorrhage of my...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MirrorThe first thing you have to understand about the place, the deep, subterranean hum of it that vibrates in your molars rather than your ears, is that it is a mirror, and it is broken, and it is looking at you. I have been living in the basement of the Whitmore estate for three years, or perhaps it has been living in me, the distinction becoming increasingly irrelevant as the walls sweat a cold,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe house did not burn; it dissolved. One moment, the kitchen was solid oak and cold granite, the window facing the gray yard where the apple trees stood like skeletal fingers against a white sky. The next, the air grew thick with the scent of ozone and burnt sugar. The wallpaper peeled away in long, curling strips, revealing not plaster, but a swirling void of violet and black. Eleanor stood...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful IncenseThe orchid on the windowsill had begun to die, its petals curling inward like fists that had held on too long, and I stood before the mirror in the sterile, white-tiled bathroom of the corporate wellness center, watching the flower shatter in my mind’s eye even as it remained intact on the shelf, a brittle, yellowing thing that smelled of nothing but decay and forgotten water. "Are you ready to...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden RitualYou wake in the middle of the night with the taste of copper and old dust on your tongue, the taste of a truth that has been swallowed but not digested. The room is dark, save for the sliver of moonlight that cuts across the floorboards like a cold, silver knife, illuminating the dust motes that dance in the still air. You are in a house you do not recognize, a Victorian relic perched on the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe rain fell on the slate roof of the Inquisition Hall in a steady, gray sheet. It was the sound that kept Elias awake. He sat at his heavy oak desk, the wood cold against his forearms, and stared at the candle. The flame flickered, casting long, trembling shadows that danced like ghosts against the stone walls. Elias was a Senior Inquisitor. His title meant little to the men who served the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinThe fire started in the basement. Not with a roar, but with a sigh. A long, wet exhalation that turned the brickwork red. Elias stood on the third floor. He watched the smoke curl through the ventilation shafts. It smelled of ozone and burnt copper. The city outside was silent. The rain had stopped. The air hung heavy, thick with the scent of wet ash. Elias touched the wall. The plaster was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MasterThe air in the basement of the Sterling Heights Community Center smelled of stale coffee and the metallic ozone scent that preceded a storm, a heavy, electric tang that coated the back of Elias Thorne’s throat and made his teeth ache with a frequency that felt less like a physical sensation and more like a memory of a song he had forgotten how to sing but which was now playing loudly in the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
