The Distant WhispersThe fog did not roll in so much as it was exhaled by the city itself, a thick, sulfurous breath that tasted of coal dust and old copper. You stood at the edge of the platform, the number twelve, where the air hung heavy and still, suspended in that peculiar, liminal moment when the world holds its breath before the shattering of reality. In your hands, you clutched a small, iron-bound box, its...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CellarThe iron gate was locked. I stood before it. The rain fell. It was cold. The city was waking up. I am a man of the Guild. We keep the peace. We keep the order. The old laws. The stone walls. The silence. I have served for thirty years. My hands are thick. My back is stiff. I do not dream. I do not hope. I only watch. My brother, Thomas, is dead. Or so they say. He died in the cellar. The dark...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrontierThe fire started in the hearth. It did not burn wood. It burned the silence. The room shrank. The walls pressed in. Tom Whitmore sat on the stool. His hands were still. He held a clay bowl. It was wet. The glaze was blue. It was the color of the sky before the storm. The door creaked. It opened inward. A man stood there. He wore a gray coat. The dust of the road clung to his boots. He was thin....0 Comments 0 Shares 15 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundThe iron breath of the city tasted of rust and ozone. Mara stood in the mud, her boots sinking into the sludge of the industrial delta. The air was thick. It was wet. It was alive. She pulled her goggles down over her eyes. The lenses were cracked. One fracture ran like a vein of lightning across her vision. She did not care. The dust settled on her skin. It was fine. It was gray. It was...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a fine, cold mist that clung to the wet wool of Major Elias Thorne’s uniform, a ghostly veil that obscured the sharp angles of the city beyond the reinforced glass of the command center. He stood by the window, his reflection a pale, fractured thing superimposed over the blurred lights of the metropolis below, his face a mask of stone that...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TowerThe dream was always the same, a recurring nightmare stitched into the fabric of my sleep since I left the barracks. In it, I stood before a wall of pale stone, slick with rain, and the stone breathed. It exhaled a cold, gray mist that tasted of iron and old blood. I was not afraid in the dream. I was only waiting for the key that would never come. I woke with the taste of rust on my tongue,...0 Comments 0 Shares 11 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ShadowsThe rain does not fall; it hammers. It strikes the corrugated tin roof of the bus stop with a rhythmic, metallic violence that vibrates through your bones, a constant, drumming accusation against the stillness of your body. You sit on the wet bench, your boots caked in the red mud of the county roads, your hands resting on your knees, palms up, empty. You are a soldier of the flesh, a warrior...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe train groans against the iron spine of the earth, a metallic beast dragging its heavy belly through the twilight of the industrial age, and you sit in the corner of the compartment, your hands wrapped around a cup of tea that has long since gone cold, the heat dead and forgotten like the hope you once held for a different kind of life. The carriage sways, a rhythmic lullaby of wood and...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant LegendThe iron gate groaned in the wind, a low, mournful sound that seemed to come from the earth itself, shaking the dust from the ancient oaks that lined the perimeter of the Blackwood Correctional Facility. I stood by the high window, my hands wrapped around a mug of cold tea, watching the leaves swirl in the grey November sky. The oaks were old, older than the prison, older than the men who...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
