The Golden RitualThe gate opens. You step out. The air is cold. It smells of wet stone and old blood. You are leaving. You are always leaving. This is the way. You walk fast. Your boots hit the cobblestones. *Clack. Clack.* The sound echoes. It sounds like a heartbeat. It sounds like a warning. You do not look back. You know what is behind you. You know what is inside. The city is grey. The sky is grey. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded Portrait"You're late, Thomas." The voice came from the shadows of the gatehouse. It was dry. It was cold. It carried the weight of stone and centuries. I did not answer. I could not. My tongue felt swollen in my mouth, a heavy stone of its own. The air smelled of wet wool and iron. We had walked all night. The rain had soaked through our cloaks until they hung like dead skins. I looked at the man...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant PromiseThe mist clung to the cobblestones of Blackwood like a shroud. It was thick. It smelled of wet stone and old rot. Elara walked. Her boots clicked. A sharp, rhythmic sound. It echoed off the narrow walls. She carried the shawl. It was red. Deep, arterial red. It wrapped her shoulders. It was warm. Too warm. It felt alive. She had fled the capital. She had fled her family. She had fled the memory...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MistThe air in the cellar was thick, not with dust, but with a heavy, breathing silence that tasted of wet stone and old iron. I stood in the center of the room, my hands trembling as I held the small, unadorned mirror of polished obsidian. It was cold to the touch, colder than the winter wind that rattled the high, narrow window set deep in the earth. Outside, the village of Harrow’s End was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DanceI woke with the taste of iron on my tongue. The dream was still there. Thick. Sticky. A forest of white birches. The trunks bled sap. Not red. White. Like milk. Like bone. I was running. My boots sank into the loam. The trees watched. They did not move. They never move. That is the thing about them. They are patient. They wait for the rot. I sat up. The ceiling was yellow. Peeling. The fan...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe hall was bright. Too bright. Light bled from the walls. It hummed. A low, electric thrum. It vibrated in the teeth. Miles stood in the center. He held the box. It was cold. Ice-cold. The air smelled of ozone. And old blood. Around him, the guests moved. They were blurred. Shapes in grey coats. They did not speak. They watched. Their eyes were empty. Miles felt the weight of the box. It was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinThe sky above the Ashworth Foundry had turned the color of a bruise that would not heal, a deep, swollen violet that hung heavy and suffocating over the industrial district, pressing down on the slate roofs and the rusted iron girders until the very air seemed to crackle with a static charge that made the hair on my arms stand on end. I stood at the edge of the precipice, my hands trembling not...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe soup was cold. It sat in the white bowl. The steam had died. The surface was a still, oily mirror. I looked at it. I did not taste it. My hands shook. They always shook now. The tremor lived in my fingers. It lived in my teeth. "Mrs. Hale," the voice said. It was a man’s voice. Low. Dry. Like gravel in a tin cup. "I am here," I said. My voice sounded thin. It sounded far away. It was not my...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CrossroadsYou are sitting in a room that smells of damp wool and boiled turnips, the air thick with the scent of industry and decay, and you are waiting for the meal that has not come. The walls are lined with shelves of glass jars, each containing a different shade of brown or grey, and the liquid inside them sloshes gently as if stirred by an unseen hand, a rhythm that matches the thrumming of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
