The Wistful LetterThe iron is still warm, humming with a low, visceral frequency that you can feel in your teeth before you hear it in the air. You stand on the precipice of the cliff, the wind tearing at the heavy wool of your coat, a garment that has seen better decades, better wars, better men. In your hands, you hold the object that has defined the last six years of your existence: a letter, folded into a...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe ink on the ledger was dry, but the weight of the numbers remained suspended in the air like dust motes dancing in a sunbeam that had long since vanished from the window, leaving the scriptorium in a state of perpetual, twilight ambiguity that felt less like a place of work and more like the interior of a sealed tomb where time had forgotten how to flow. I sat at the oak desk, the wood worn...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant SummerThe rain did not fall in the village of Oakhaven; it seeped. It rose from the black mud of the lowlands and clung to the stone walls of the cottages like a wet shroud. Elias Thorne sat by the window of his cottage, his fingers tracing the edge of a small, obsidian stone that lay on the table before him. The stone was smooth, worn by years of turning over in his palm, its surface dark and...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe dream is not a place but a texture, a heavy, wet wool that presses against your lungs and your skin, smelling of damp stone and the copper tang of old blood. You are in the tower, the topmost room of the Abbey of St. Jude, where the wind howls through the cracks in the masonry like a chorus of the damned, and you are holding it, the object, the thing that has been passed from hand to hand,...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded BouquetThe jar sits on the windowsill, a thick, cylindrical block of amber glass that holds a slurry of brown and grey, a mixture that has long since ceased to be food and has become something else, something structural. You do not know when it was placed there, nor do you know why it remains, for you are not the one who tends the shelves. You are only the one who must explain them. The city outside...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TowerThe ink smelled of iron and old rain. I sat at the desk, the surface cold against my forearms, watching the letters form on the parchment. They did not appear as I wrote them. They bloomed, dark and wet, like bruises spreading under skin. This was my work at the Bureau of Anomalous Correspondence, a place that existed in the margins of the city’s mind, a building of gray stone and silent...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful DinnerThe rain fell in sheets. It struck the iron roof of the St. Jude’s Asylum for the Incurable. The sound was a roar. It was a constant, grinding hum. Thomas Bradshaw sat in the corner of the ward. His hands were still. They were bound to the rails of his bed. The leather chafed his wrists. He watched the window. The glass was fogged. Outside, the world was a smear of grey and black. The year was...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden DowntownThe iron taste of blood coats your tongue, thick and metallic, as the first arrow strikes the pauldron of your breastplate. You are not a knight, nor a lord, but a scribe from the lower ward of Ashworth, and you did not ask for this war. Yet here you stand in the mud of the Blackfen, the fog so dense it feels less like weather and more like a living thing pressing its cold fingers against your...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant LegendYou wake before the dawn, your lungs heavy with the taste of cold ash and the lingering, metallic ghost of the dream that has been gnawing at the back of your skull for three nights running, a dream of a border that moves like water, shifting its edges so that you are always just on the wrong side, always watching the firelight of the other shore from a distance that makes your bones ache with...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
