The Pale PathThe sky did not darken so much as it bled, a bruised purple spreading from the horizon to swallow the stars, until the air itself felt thick with the weight of an impending, terrible silence. Captain Elias Thorne stood on the balcony of the estate, his hand resting on the cold iron railing, feeling the vibration of the house beneath his boots. It was a vibration that had no source in the...0 Comments 0 Shares 15 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GhostYou hold the letter. It is small. A square of parchment. Stained with rain. You do not open it. You know what is written. You have always known. The ink is faded. The words are ghostly. They whisper in your blood. You are a warden. You walk the line. The line is long. The line is cold. It is a time of stone and silence. The castle stands on the cliff. The wind howls below. You stand on the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ShadowsThe air in the infirmary smelled of antiseptic and old rain, a scent that seemed to seep into the very fibers of the wool blankets stacked on the shelves. I sat on the edge of my cot, my hands resting on my knees, fingers trembling slightly as I watched the dust motes dance in the single beam of afternoon light that pierced the boarded window. It was the third day of the lockdown, and the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CompassThe iron gates of the Blackwood Processing Mill do not creak, they groan, a low, tectonic complaint that vibrates through the soles of your boots and settles deep in your marrow. You stand before them, your uniform damp with the heavy, sulfurous mist that clings to the valley floor, and you feel the weight of the badge on your chest not as a symbol of authority, but as an anchor dragging you...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BannerThe dream began not with a sound, but with a texture, a roughness against the skin that felt like dried blood and old wool. Caelum lay in the center of the great hall of the Blackwood estate, the air thick with the scent of damp stone and burning tallow. He was not alone, though he could not see the others immediately; their presence was a weight, a pressure on his temples, a collective silence...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden EchoesThe dream began with the smell of wet chalk. Elara stood in a corridor of pale stone. The air was thick. It smelled of dust. It smelled of old paper. It smelled of iron. Her hands were hidden in her sleeves. She could not see them. She only felt the weight of them. They were heavy. They were cold. They were not hers. She walked. Her feet did not touch the ground. They hovered. A half-inch above...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe cellar door did not open; it was breached. Thomas stood in the mud, the iron handle slick with rain and rot, his knuckles white not from the cold but from the sheer, crushing weight of what lay beyond the threshold. He was a man carved from the same silent stone as the house itself, a structure of black timber and slate that sat heavy on the hillside, overlooking the grey expanse of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden VisitThe rain had not stopped for three days, a relentless, gray curtain that turned the ancient oaks of the Blackwood into skeletal figures weeping into the mud. It was the kind of weather that did not merely fall but seeped, finding the cracks in the stone walls of the keep, the gaps in the leather of the armor, and the hollow spaces within the chest of Sir Thomas Bradshaw. He sat on the edge of...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe blood on your knuckles is not yours. It is dark and viscous, mixing with the grime of the wall. You press your back against the cold concrete. The room spins, or perhaps it is the fluorescent light that buzzes like a dying wasp, stroboscopic and cruel. Your adversary stands over you. He is tall. His uniform is pristine. The insignia on his chest glows under the harsh light. It is a symbol...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews
