The Golden DowntownThe rain had been falling on the slate roof for three days, a persistent, grey curtain that turned the world outside into a blur of indistinct shapes and muted sounds, a heavy veil drawn across the windows of the old Victorian house that stood like a forgotten tooth in the jaw of the city. You remember the smell of it, the damp, mineral scent of wet stone and decaying leaves that seeped through...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinYou are standing in the shadow of the monolith, the air thick with the metallic tang of ozone and the stale, recycled breath of the city, and the inscription etched into the face of the structure is not merely text but a living, breathing entity that pulses against the darkness, a symbiotic scar that has become indistinguishable from the flesh of the world you once defended. The light here is...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CartographThe rain hits the thatch like a fist. You are wet. Cold. The mud sucks at your boots with a wet, heavy tongue. You are running. Your lungs burn. The air tastes of iron and old stone. This is the village of Oakhaven. It is ancient. The trees are old. The people are older. They watch from the windows. Their eyes are flat. They see a thief. They see a spy. They see a foreigner. You are none of...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CellarThe hand was gone. Or rather, it was there, but it was not mine. It sat on the polished mahogany table of the Boardroom, pale and thin, the knuckles swollen like old walnut shells. I looked at it. It looked back. There was no finger movement. No life. Just the skin. I had been staring at it for three hours. The clock on the wall ticked. Tick. Tick. Tick. Each sound was a hammer blow. My other...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ShadowsThe rain in Seattle did not wash things clean; it merely made the grime slicker, turning the city into a mirror of wet asphalt and gray light. Elias sat in the back row of the community center’s basement, a space that smelled of damp wool and old carpet, his fingers laced tightly over his knees. He was twelve, a age where the body feels too large for its skin, and his hands, usually so deft...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JourneyThe ice was thin. That was the first thing he knew. It had been thick enough for the horses, thick enough for the carts, but now it was just a membrane of white over the black water. Silas stood on the bank. He held his rifle loosely. It was a heavy thing. The wood was worn smooth by his hands. He had held it for ten years. Now his hands shook. Not from cold. From waiting. Across the river, the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MeridianThe jar shattered on the flagstones, a sound like a bone snapping under the weight of a winter boot. My mentor, Dr. Alistair Thorne, did not flinch. He stood in the center of the laboratory, his silhouette sharp against the window where the industrial smog of 1904 London pressed against the glass like a living thing, gray and suffocating. He looked down at the shards of crystal and the viscous,...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant LegendI woke with the smell of iron in my mouth. It was the taste of old blood. Or rust. It didn't matter. The smell was the same. I was standing in the Great Hall. The stone floor was cold against my boots. I was wearing the tunic. The blue one. It was stained. Not with mud. With something darker. Something that didn’t wash out. I looked down. My hands were empty. But they felt heavy. Like they held...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant BladeThe mud was red. Not the brown, damp earth of our fields, but a thick, arterial crimson that sucked at my boots with a wet, greedy hiss. I swung the mace. It was heavy. Heavier than a man’s arm should be. The air tore around me, screaming. I hit the gate. The iron shattered. Sparks flew like angry stars. "Stay back!" I shouted. My voice cracked. It was not my voice. It was the voice of a girl...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
