The Wistful ThroneThe rain hit the tin roof of the station house in a relentless, hissing sheet. It sounded like static. Like the end of a signal. Captain Elias Thorne stood by the window. He watched the grey water streak down the glass. His hands were still. His face was stone. Inside, the air smelled of wet wool and old coffee. It was a smell that stuck to the teeth. He was a good man. He told himself that. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale AltarThe rain did not fall. It hung. Suspended in the air of the office, the water droplets froze in mid-descent. They glittered like diamonds against the gray sky, a static curtain of liquid glass. Elias sat at his desk. His hands rested on the keyboard. They were still. The monitor hummed. It was a low, sick note. A drone that vibrated in his teeth. He looked at the screen. The cursor blinked. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe sword was heavy. It was a thing of iron and bone, forged in a time when the city was young and the air tasted of copper. Kaelen held it with both hands, his knuckles white, his breath ragged in his throat. The pavement beneath him was slick with rain and something darker. It was not blood. It was oil. The slick, black residue of the city’s veins. He was a Warden. The title sat in his chest...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe rain hits the slate. It sounds like static. Like a dead radio. You stand by the window. You watch the street. The gas lamps are out. The electric ones hum. They buzz low. A constant drone. You are leaving. You packed your bag. It is light. Too light. You feel a hole in your chest. It is not sadness. It is emptiness. A void. You have to go. You have to find the truth. Or so you tell...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BonsaiThe jar on the windowsill was not empty. It was full of a silence so dense it had weight, a viscous, pale green slurry that smelled of crushed stems and old rain. I sat with my back against the cold glass, my knees drawn up to my chin, watching the condensation form on the inside of the jar, tracing the veins of a leaf that had been ground down into pulp. My name is Arthur, though I had stopped...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DoorThe rain hammered the tin roof of the truck, a relentless, metallic drumming that drowned out the wind. Elias sat in the driver’s seat, hands white-knuckled on the wheel. His knuckles were raw. His jaw was tight. He was not afraid. Fear was a luxury for men who had time to think. He had a job to do. In the passenger seat, a duffel bag held his life. Inside, wrapped in oilcloth, was the jar. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CrossingThe banquet hall of the Ashworth Manor smelled of roasted pheasant and ozone. It was a scent that did not belong to the year 1894, nor to the damp Yorkshire hills outside the stained-glass windows, but it hung heavy in the air, settling on the velvet upholstery and the silver candelabra. Eleanor Ashworth stood at the head of the table, her hands folded neatly in her lap. Her fingers were pale,...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundThe sky cracked open at dawn. It did not thunder. It simply split, a jagged line of white light that severed the horizon in two. Elias stood on the roof of the condemned textile mill, watching the sky tear. He held the coat. It was heavy. Woolen, dark blue, frayed at the cuffs. It belonged to no one he knew, or perhaps it belonged to everyone who had ever been erased. The wind smelled of ozone...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden EchoesThe train cut through the grey morning. It moved fast. The wheels clicked. A sharp rhythm. It hammered against the bones of the city. Elias stood by the window. He held his ticket tight. The paper was white. It was soft. It was a lie. He looked out. The world was a blur. Smoke and steel. The factories breathed dark clouds. They rose like ghosts. They hung over the streets. They smelled of...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
