The Distant BladeI dreamed of the fog again. It was not the white, clean mist of a New England morning. This was thick, oily, and smelled of sulfur and wet iron. I stood in the town square of Ashworth, the cobblestones slick under my shoes. The gas lamps hissed, spitting sparks into the void. I was looking for my father. He had been gone for three years, dead in a mining accident, yet here he was, or something...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe siren cut through the morning air. It was a jagged sound. It tore the quiet apart. Daniel stood on the corner. He watched the lights flash. Red. Blue. Red. Blue. The street was empty. No one moved. No one spoke. The wind picked up. It pushed against his coat. It felt cold. It felt heavy. He adjusted his tie. He checked his watch. He was late. He was always late for the things that mattered....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GardenThe rain did not fall; it hung, a suspended gray mist that smelled of wet iron and old roses, coating the stone walls of the Abbey with a slick, breathing skin. You stood at the edge of the cloister, your fingers tracing the cold, damp mortar, feeling the vibration of a bell that had not been rung in three centuries. It was a dream, or perhaps a waking, for the boundary had long since...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SilenceYou dream of the taste. It is not a pleasant taste. It is the metallic tang of old pennies. It is the gritty, chalky residue of crushed limestone. It is the bitter, astringent punch of unripe grapes. You wake with your tongue coated in this phantom flavor. You spit into the sink. The water runs red. Or perhaps it is the light. The dawn is breaking, painting the industrial town in hues of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ClueThe dream was a house of glass, standing alone in a field of white fog, where the windows did not reflect the sky but instead held the breath of those who had once lived inside. In the dream, Arthur Penhaligon was young, his hands smooth and unscarred, and he stood before a massive oak door that felt warm to the touch, like the flank of a living horse. He knew, with the absolute certainty of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded MasqueradeThe iron bit of my halter was slick with sweat and the copper taste of blood, and the world outside the window was a blur of mud, rain, and the distant, thunderous roar of the city gates being breached, but all I could see, all I could focus on, was the single, trembling hand of the King reaching up from the floor to grasp my wrist, his fingers weak as dry twigs, his eyes wide with a terror...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BonsaiYou stand in the center of the Great Atrium, a space so vast and architecturally oppressive that the air itself seems to have forgotten how to move, thick with the scent of ozone and the sweet, rotting perfume of overripe peaches that hang from the vaulted ceiling like swollen, bruised eyes staring down at your insignificant, trembling form. The light here is not sunlight, for there are no...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe rain fell on the cobblestones of the Old Quarter with a rhythmic, persistent drumming that sounded less like weather and more like the slow, grinding teeth of the city itself, eating away at the foundations of things that had stood for centuries. Elara, who was only twelve but carried the weight of a woman’s exhaustion in her narrow shoulders, stood at the threshold of the Belltower, her...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DanceThe smell of the antiseptic was not merely a scent but a physical weight, pressing against the back of my throat with the cold, metallic precision of a scalpel. I stood in the center of the sterile white room, the fluorescent lights humming a low, electric drone that seemed to vibrate in the marrow of my bones, while around me the air shimmered with the invisible, potent residue of my own...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
