The Wistful SagaThe rain fell upon the ramparts of Castle Ashworth not as water, but as a fine, persistent grey dust that settled into the creases of the stone and the deep, dark folds of Sir Thomas Bradshaw’s woolen surcoat, a garment that had been stitched with such care by his mother’s deft hands in the village of Kettering that it seemed less a piece of clothing and more an extension of his own skin, a...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ApartmentThe rain lashed against the stained glass of the attic window, turning the grey afternoon into a chaotic smear of indigo and bruised purple. I stood in the center of the room, my hands shaking so violently I could not hold the glass vase steady. It was an ordinary thing, a piece of cheap Victorian mass production, yet within its curved, clouded belly swam a single, translucent jellyfish. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SagaThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a suspended gray veil that blurred the edges of the world. Inside the small, rented room that smelled of damp wool and old coffee, Elias sat on the edge of the bed, his hands resting on his knees, fingers laced tight until the knuckles turned white. He was a man who had spent thirty years wearing a badge, a man who had learned to read the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale PathThe fog does not roll in from the sea so much as it seeps up from the damp earth, a cold, grey breath that erases the horizon line and turns the world into a series of diminishing, indistinct shapes. You are walking the ridge path that cuts through the moorland outside of Blackwater, a route that your husband, Arthur, walked every morning for twenty years before the sickness took him. The air...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale AltarThe stone in the center of the atrium was not a statue, nor a monument, but a fracture. It stood six feet high, a jagged spine of white marble that had been split down the middle, leaving a chasm of shadow where the core should have been. I had spent thirty years in this house, and thirty years I had tried to understand the split. My father, a man whose hands were stained permanently with the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe collapse of the tower did not happen with a roar, but with a sigh, a long, shuddering exhalation of dust that rose like a ghost from the foundations and settled upon the shoulders of Elias Thorne, a man who had spent the last thirty years believing that stone was the only thing in the world that could be trusted to hold its shape. He stood in the nave of the cathedral, the air thick with...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe rain did not fall so much as it hovered, a suspended curtain of grey mist that clung to the windowpanes of the watchtower, blurring the world outside into a smear of wet earth and weeping willows, a place where time had long since ceased to flow in any straight line and instead pooled like stagnant water in the hollows of the landscape. Sergeant Elias Thorne stood with his back to the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MasterThe mud was thick as blood. It clung to the leather boots of Captain Elias Thorne. The city groaned. Stone walls sweated rain. Thorne held his ground. His back was against the alley mouth. The smell of wet iron filled his nose. He was the Law. He was the Shield. He was the wall that kept the chaos out. The crowd pressed in. Faces blurred. Eyes wide with fear and fury. They did not want a man....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful MountainThe storm did not break the window; it swallowed the light. Inside the sterile, humming belly of St. Jude’s Institute for Cognitive Restoration, the air tasted of ozone and wet wool. Elias Thorne sat on the edge of his cot, his hands trembling not from the cold, but from the vibration in the floorboards. He was a prisoner of his own architecture, a man who had built walls of silence so thick...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
