The Golden MirrorThe fog had been sitting on the manor for three days, a thick, damp shroud that tasted of iron and old rain. I sat in the study, the room’s only light coming from the hearth where the fire had burned down to a bed of grey embers. My hands were shaking. Not from cold, though the stone floor bit through my stockings, but from the sheer weight of what I had found. The mirror was gone. Or rather,...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful GridThe letter was found tucked inside the lining of a woolen coat that had hung in the village chapel for forty years, its fabric rotted to a soft, gray lace, the ink faded to the color of dried blood. It was written by Silas Thorne, the last of the Warden’s men, a man who had spent his final years in the village of Oakhaven, a place that existed, or had existed, in a time when the boundary...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MachineThe ink had not yet dried on the final line of the treatise, a dense thicket of Latin and Old English script that seemed to writhe on the parchment like living worms, when the first crack appeared in the ceiling of the scriptorium. It was not a sound of thunder, for the sky above the abbey was merely grey and damp, but a sound of tearing, a sickening, fibrous rip that echoed through the stone...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe dream began with the sound of shattering glass, but it was not the window that broke. It was the reflection. In the mirror that hung above the heavy oak desk in the precinct captain’s office, the face of Elias Thorne did not return his gaze. Instead, it fractured into a thousand jagged shards, each fragment reflecting a different, distorted version of the man who stood before it: a boy in a...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden GreenhouseThe banquet hall of the Citadel of Saint Jude, a fortress of grey stone and colder silence that had stood for three centuries above the jagged cliffs of the Atlantic, was filled with the heavy, cloying scent of roasted boar and the even heavier, metallic tang of fear that seemed to hang in the air like a physical mist, settling into the folds of the velvet tapestries and the polished surface of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe rain fell on the city not as water, but as a gray, sullen accusation. It drummed against the high, arched windows of the office on the fourth floor, a rhythmic tapping that sounded like fingernails scratching against the skin of the world. You sat in the leather chair, the one that had cost more than your father’s first year of university, and you held the letter in your hands. It was not a...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythYou are in the room. It is small. Stone walls. High ceiling. Dust motes dance in the single shaft of light. You are sitting. Your back is against the cold stone. Your hands are still. They are bound. Not by rope. By choice. By habit. By the weight of years. Before this, there was the feast. The Great Hall of the Citadel. Long tables. Candles. Gold goblets. You were the captain. They called you...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe mist did not lift. It thickened. Elias stood at the edge of the fen. His boots sank into the black mud. He looked back. His mother stood there. She did not call out. She just watched. Her face was a mask of stone. Her eyes were wet. "Go," she said. One word. It hung in the air. It was heavy. It was cold. Elias turned. He walked into the fog. He did not run. Running would break the spell. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TaleThe rain had been falling for three days, a ceaseless, gray curtain that blurred the edges of the world against the windowpane of the attic room. It was a small, cramped space, the air thick with the scent of damp wool and old paper, where the light seemed to have died long before the sun set. Leo sat at the desk, his hands wrapped tightly around a piece of charcoal, his knuckles white. He was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
