The Faded RuinThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a grey curtain woven from the breath of the earth, settling into the hollows of the valley with a persistence that felt less like weather and more like judgment. Thomas Bradshaw moved through the mud with the heavy, deliberate steps of a man who had long ago ceased to expect the ground to hold him, his boots sinking into the slick clay of the old road...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe smell of burnt honey hung in the air, thick and cloying, a sweet rot that clung to the back of Aldous’s throat. He sat on the edge of the stone dais, his robes, once the deep indigo of a scholar’s dignity, now stained with the dust of the earth he had been digging. Around him, the cavern breathed. It was not a cave in the way a man thinks of a cave, dark and dead, but a living throat,...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden DowntownThe fog does not rise in the valley; it sits there, heavy and grey, like a wet wool blanket that has been left on the floor for too long. You walk through it. Your boots, once black leather, are now a matted brown, caked with the sludge of the industrial districts you have just left behind. The air tastes of iron and stale coal smoke, a metallic tang that coats the back of your throat and...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe iron keys were cold against Maren’s palm, a slick, metallic taste that coated the back of her throat as she fought to keep her breath steady. Around her, the great hall of the Ashworth estate was a cavern of shadows and dust, the chandeliers above dead eyes staring down from the vaulted ceiling. The air smelled of damp stone and old fear, a scent that had seeped into the very bones of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe rain hit the windshield like static. I wiped it away. The wipers squealed. A screech of tires. Then silence. I looked in the rearview mirror. The figure was still there. Standing in the ditch. Mud up to the ankles. Holding a lantern. The glass was cracked. The light inside was yellow. It looked like an eye. I rolled down the window. Cold air rushed in. It smelled of wet earth and iron. "Can...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MirrorThe fire started in the sugar refinery on a Tuesday, which was a day for work, not for miracles, and the smoke rose so thick and orange that the town of Harrowgate seemed to be bleeding from the inside out. It was the kind of heat that tasted of copper and burnt hair, a physical weight that pressed against the eardrums and clouded the mind with a frantic, buzzing anxiety. In the center of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RoadThe rain does not stop. It hammers against the iron roof of the watchtower, a relentless, rhythmic pounding that sounds like a heartbeat gone wrong. You sit in the corner, your back against the cold stone. Your hands are clasped tight, knuckles white, trying to hold your body together. The air smells of wet wool and old blood. You are the warden. This is your post. The road below, the one that...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe rain did not fall upon the city of Ashenmoor so much as it condensed, a perpetual, grey exhale that hung in the narrow streets and seeped into the bones of the ancient stone, a dampness that had no beginning and seemed to possess no end, a sorrow that was not merely weather but the very atmosphere of our confinement, for we were not free to leave, nor were we permitted to truly arrive,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful DinnerThe dream begins not with a sound or a sight, but with a weight, a profound and suffocating heaviness that settles upon your shoulders like a mantle of wet wool, pressing you into the cold stone floor of the kitchen where the shadows have grown long and teeth-like, and you realize that you are no longer the woman who walked into this house three days ago, but something older, something woven...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
