The Golden CircuitThe copper wire snaps taut against the back of your neck, a cold line of voltage that tastes of ozone and rust, and you are falling through the ceiling of the house that used to be yours, landing in a heap of shattered glass and drywall dust that coats your tactical gear in a fine, white ash. You do not move, not immediately, because the pain is a distant, humming thing, a frequency that...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe hall was made of glass. It was not real glass. It was light. It was air that had learned to hold its shape. We called it the Atrium. It stood in the center of the town square, though the town was gone. The houses were shadows. The streets were dust. Only the Atrium remained. I was twelve. My name is Elias. I stood at the base of the structure. The walls hummed. A low, vibrating sound. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden GreenhouseThe glass shattered. It did not break with a crash, but with a sigh, a long, exhalation of light that turned the air into dust. I stood in the center of the workshop, holding a shard of green pane in my left hand. It cut deep. The blood was warm. The blood was red. The glass was gone. I am a maker of things. I have always been a maker of things. My name is Elias Thorne. I build cages for the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AtlasThe rain hit the slate roof like a drumroll. It was a cold, wet sound. I stood in the yard. My hands were raw. The mud sucked at my boots. I watched the door. I waited. The air smelled of wet stone and old blood. This was my punishment. Or maybe my job. I am Thomas. I am the keeper. The keeper of the gate. And of the silence. The abbey was old. Older than the town. Older than the river. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DanceYou are tired. Not the kind of tired that sleep fixes. It is a tiredness that lives in the marrow, a dull ache that sits behind your eyes. You are standing in the basement of the precinct. The air is stale. It smells of old sweat and cheap coffee. The walls are concrete. They are gray. They are cold. You are looking at the file. It is thick. It is yellowed at the edges. It has your name on it....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful MountainThe air inside the greenhouse is thick, a heavy, humid blanket that presses against your skin and tastes of rotting lilies and wet stone. You are standing in the center of the glass enclosure, your fingers curled around the cold iron handle of the pruning shears, and you are waiting for the silence to break. The silence has been building for weeks, a low-frequency hum that vibrates in your...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CartographThe feast was a riot of wax and wine, a suffocating heat that pressed against the skin of the small hall in Alderford. You stood in the corner, your fingers white-knuckled around the stem of a goblet, watching the candlelight dance on the faces of the Magistrates. They looked bloated, radiant in their ermine, their laughter sharp and brittle as the frost that had settled on the windowpanes that...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe banquet hall of the Citadel of Aethelgard was not built for light, but for the weight of silence, a cavernous space where the stone walls wept with condensation and the air hung thick with the scent of roasted lamb, stale wine, and the metallic tang of old blood. I sat at the far end of the long oak table, my hands clasped tightly in my lap, feeling the roughness of the linen napkin beneath...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a fine gray mist that clung to the stone walls of the manor. It was a damp that seeped into the bones. I stood in the corridor, my hand resting on the pommel of my sword. The metal was cold. It had been cold for years. I was a knight of the household. Or so they said. My name was Sir Elias. I wore the livery of House Alden. Black velvet,...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
