The Faded PhotographThe wind bit at the hem of her cloak. It was a cold that went to the bone, the kind that only lived in the high passes where the air grew thin and sharp. Elara pulled her hood lower. She did not look back. She could not look back. Behind her, the village of Oakhaven lay hidden by the grey shroud of twilight. Before her, the road stretched out into the wilderness, a dark vein cutting through the...0 Comments 0 Shares 45 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded GuestThe gate is locked. You know this. You have checked it three times this morning. The iron is cold. The air is still. It smells of damp stone and old blood. You are not afraid. Fear is a luxury you cannot afford. You are the Warden. You are the wall. You are the silence that holds the dark at bay. Your brother, Elias, waits inside. He does not look at you. He looks at the floor. His hands are...0 Comments 0 Shares 45 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MistThe carriage wheels bit into the gravel of the King’s private drive, kicking up a cloud of grey dust that hung in the air like a suspended breath. Elias Thorne sat hunched over his knees, his fingers white-knuckled around the handle of a velvet case that had once been the color of deep wine but was now the shade of dried blood. He was a man who dealt in things that did not age, or so he had...0 Comments 0 Shares 44 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AshesYou arrive in Oakhaven under a sky the color of a bruise, thick and swollen with the promise of rain that never breaks. The town smells of wet wool and woodsmoke, a scent that clings to your clothes, to your skin, to the inside of your throat. You are here because you were told to be here. The letter from the Magistrate was terse, devoid of warmth, offering only a stipend and a purpose. You are...0 Comments 0 Shares 34 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CrossroadsThe rain did not fall so much as it invaded, a heavy, suffocating curtain of grey that turned the world outside our window into a smear of mud and rust. We were alone in the station, the last two souls left in the entire district, huddled in the back of the decommissioned railcar that had been our home for three weeks. The air inside was thick with the smell of wet wool, stale tobacco, and the...0 Comments 0 Shares 44 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AtlasThe iron gates of St. Jude’s Asylum for the Insane stood open, a gaping maw of rusted teeth against the gray, soot-stained sky of the industrial district. Thomas Bradshaw walked through them not as a visitor, but as a keeper, his uniform pressed and stiff, the brass buttons catching the dull light like cold eyes. He was a man carved from the same heavy stone as the building itself, his face a...0 Comments 0 Shares 38 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden DowntownThe bread was already stale, the crust tough as leather, the crumb dry and crumbling into the dust that coated the stone floor. Margaret did not taste it. She held the loaf in her hands, the way one holds a dying bird, feeling for a heartbeat that had long since ceased, her fingers tracing the fissures where the yeast had failed to rise. The cellar was a mouth of shadow, damp and close, the air...0 Comments 0 Shares 44 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownYou wake in a dream where the air is thick with the smell of wet chalk and old paper, a scent that has seeped into the very fibers of your childhood, and you find yourself standing in the long, dim corridor of the Whitmore Institute, a building that no longer exists but feels more real than the street outside your current window. The floorboards creak under your bare feet, a sound like a...0 Comments 0 Shares 45 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GhostThe rain fell in sheets against the glass, blurring the world into a smear of gray and black. Elias stood by the window. His hands were clenched. The wood of the frame was slick under his fingers. He did not move. He had not moved in hours. The house was silent, save for the ticking of the clock in the hall and the distant rumble of the factory whistles. He was a man who had crossed an ocean....0 Comments 0 Shares 39 Views 0 Reviews
