The Wistful SagaThe fire roared. It ate the wood and the shadows. Margaret sat at the edge of the table. Her hands were steady. They had always been steady. She held the bowl. It was old. The glaze was chipped. A crack ran through the bottom. Like a river. Or a vein. The room was full. Smoke hung low. The air tasted of pine and fear. People whispered. They looked at her. Their eyes were sharp. They were...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JokeThe frost crept over the windowpane. It looked like ice. It felt like bone. Elias sat at his desk. The light was low. The air was cold. He held the stone. It was smooth. It was warm. It was not warm. It was cold. He turned it over. The surface was dark. It reflected his face. The face was old. The eyes were tired. "Is it done?" The voice came from the doorway. It was soft. It was thin. Elias...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant NightmareThe rain fell in sheets. It hammered against the hood of the carriage. We moved through the dark. The forest loomed on both sides. Black trees. Tall and thin. They watched us pass. I held my sword tight. The hilt was cold. It bled into my palm. My fingers were numb. I could not feel them. I could not feel my face. Only the cold. Only the fear. The carriage stopped. A creak. A groan of wood. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MistThe mist that rolled in from the moor was not white, but the color of old bone, a pale, sickly grey that swallowed the horizon whole. You stood at the edge of the cliff, the wind tearing at the hem of your wool dress, feeling the cold seep through the fabric and into your marrow. It was a cold that did not just sit on the skin; it lived there, a tenant that had refused to leave after the first...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe rain against the windowpane of the breakroom at Halloway Pharmaceuticals did not merely fall; it drummed a relentless, wet rhythm that seemed to synchronize with the throbbing behind Arthur Penhaligon’s temples, a pain that had long since ceased to feel like an injury and had instead calcified into the very architecture of his being, a structural flaw in the mortar of his days. He stood...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe fog rolled in from the harbor, thick as wool. It swallowed the pier. It swallowed the boats. It swallowed the world. Elias Vance walked through it. His boots were wet. The leather creaked. He was a carpenter. He built things that stayed. Chairs. Tables. Shelves. Things with edges. Things you could hold. He was old. His hands were maps of veins. They trembled. Not from cold. From time. Time...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ClueThe dinner was loud. The chandeliers in the ballroom of the Ashworth estate cast a warm, honeyed glow over the polished mahogany tables, but the air was thick with the scent of roasted venison and the metallic tang of old, unspoken resentment. Thomas Bradshaw sat at the far end of the head table, his uniform immaculate, his shoulders squared in a way that made the fabric of his jacket creak. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe rain did not fall so much as it was thrown, a violent, stinging barrage that turned the glass walls of the Kestrel Institute into a kaleidoscope of grey and white, blurring the line between the sterile interior of the executive suite and the chaotic, weeping city below, where the wipers of the parked sedans beat a frantic, arrhythmic drum against the windshield like the frantic hearts of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DoorThe fog rolls in from the harbor. It is thick. It is white. You step off the train. The platform is cold. Iron clings to your coat. You are tired. Your bones ache. You have walked for three days. Your boots are heavy. They are wet. The town of Millhaven is small. It is grey. The smoke from the factories rises. It mixes with the fog. It becomes one. You look at the map in your hand. It is old....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
