The Golden ScarYou wake with the taste of copper and old rain on your tongue, the air in the small, windowless room of the Bureau of Civic Harmony thick with the scent of damp wool and the quiet, humming electricity of the servers that keep the peace. It is a Tuesday, or what the calendar insists is a Tuesday, though time in the town of Oakhaven has long since shed its linear skin, curling inward like a dying...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe mist clings to the valley floor like a wet shroud, obscuring the path where you walk. You are a clerk in the service of the King, a man of ink and ledgers, yet here you are, walking into the heart of the ancient wood. The air tastes of iron and rot. You carry a satchel of coins, heavy with the weight of a promise made to a dead man. They say the forest grants a wish if you pay the price....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JourneyThe rain does not fall so much as it is poured from the sky, a heavy, grey slurry that smells of wet stone and rotting leaves, drumming against the high, narrow windows of the hall in a rhythm that feels less like weather and more like the beating of a thousand small, frantic hearts. You are sitting at the edge of a long table covered in a white cloth that is already stained with wine and the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale EchoI woke with the taste of copper and ash on my tongue, the dream still clinging to the back of my throat like a wet rag. In the dream, I was not me. I was a thing of smoke and memory, tethered to a single, heavy object that I could not name but felt in my bones as a gravity more powerful than the earth itself. The object was a simple brass compass, its face cracked down the center, the needle...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant TempleThe sky did not break; it shattered. A sound like the snapping of a thousand dry branches echoed across the valley of Ashworth. Then came the light. It was not the golden light of the harvest or the pale silver of the moon. It was a blinding, jagged white that peeled the color from the world. Elias sat in the center of the ruin. He held a shard in his hand. It was a piece of the sky. It was...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale EchoThe ball was loud. Too loud. I stood by the champagne tower. My tie was tight. My pulse was louder than the band. Margaret was there. She wore white. Not the white of snow. The white of bone. She moved through the crowd. A ghost in a gilded cage. I watched her. I had watched her for years. Since the day the war ended. Since the day the silence broke. Detective Miller stood near the door. He did...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundThe iron gates of the Citadel of Aethelgard did not open so much as they exhaled, a long, rusted sigh that shook the dust from the cobblestones and settled into the cracks of your boots as you walked in with the weight of a dead man’s secret pressed against your chest. You are not supposed to be here, you tell yourself, though the thought feels less like a warning and more like a memory of a...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileYou wake with the taste of copper on your tongue. It is a metallic, sharp flavor, the taste of old pennies and new blood. You are lying on the cold tile floor of the precinct’s holding cell. The fluorescent light above you hums a low, sick note. It vibrates in your teeth. You blink. The world is blurry. Then it sharpens. You are still wearing your jacket. Look at it. The fabric is torn. A long,...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant NightmareThe carriage wheels groaned against the cobblestones, a sound that seemed to vibrate in my own teeth as we ascended the steep, winding road toward the Monastery of Saint Jude. The air grew thinner, colder, carrying with it the scent of wet stone and ancient pine, a sharp, medicinal smell that coated the back of my throat. I sat in the corner of the vehicle, clutching my satchel with a grip that...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
