The Faded FrequencyThe rain fell in sheets against the glass of the command tent, a rhythmic drumming that matched the frantic beating of your heart. You gripped the hilt of your sword, the leather worn smooth by years of service, and stared at the figure standing three paces away. It was you. Not a reflection, not a trick of the light, but a solid, breathing mirror of your own face, clad in the same dented iron...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale FractureThe glass shattered. Not broke. Shattered. A clean, violent fracture. Elias dropped to his knees. The shards glittered like crushed diamonds in the sterile white light. He picked one up. The edge was sharp. It bit into his thumb. A bead of red bloomed. He did not flinch. He pressed the fragment against his skin. The pain was sharp. Clear. Real. "Stop," said the voice. It came from the ceiling....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CellarThe iron key was cold. It bit into my palm. I held it tight. The cellar door groaned. It was wood. Old wood. It smelled of rot and rain. I pushed. The hinges screamed. I stepped down. The stone was slick. My boots slipped. I caught the wall. The dark was thick. It pressed against my eyes. I could not see. I could only feel. The air was heavy. It tasted of dust. It tasted of time. I stood still....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe rain tapped a frantic, irregular code against the high, reinforced windows of the containment unit, a sound that Dr. Elias Thorne had come to associate with the ticking of his own failing heart. He sat in the dim light of the observation deck, his hands resting on the cool glass, watching the figure of his daughter, Clara, move with a strange, mechanical precision within the sterile white...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CampusThe iron greaves on your legs are heavy, colder than the river mud you are wading through, and the weight of them pulls you downward into the silt where the dead soldiers of the old wars have been sleeping for centuries, their bones turned to white dust that mixes with the black water until you can no longer tell where your own body ends and the river begins. You are holding the shield, the one...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DoorThe dream began with the door. It was not a door of wood or iron, but a slab of pale marble, seamless and cold, set into the white wall of an infinite corridor. Thomas woke with the taste of chalk in his mouth. He lay still for a moment, staring at the ceiling of his cramped office, the fluorescent lights buzzing their low, angry hymn. The city outside was waking up. The traffic below was a...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe river had swallowed the bridge three winters ago, leaving behind only a jagged stump of oak and iron that jutted from the mud like a broken bone, and it was to this stump that Alistair Thorne returned every dawn, not to fish, nor to cross, but to stand in the shallow water until the cold bit through his boots and into the marrow of his shins. He was a man who had worn his uniform until the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe fog rolled off the harbor in thick, gray ribbons, swallowing the iron hulls of the steamships and the skeletal masts of the older schooners, until the world outside the dock felt like a rumor rather than a place. Silas Thorne stood at the edge of the pier, his boots sinking slightly into the wet, rotting planks, and watched the last of the cargo crews disappear into the mist. He was a man...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden EchoesThe glass was cold. It cut into Thomas’s palm. “Is it safe?” he asked. His voice was thin. It sounded like dry leaves. His wife, Eleanor, looked at him. Her eyes were wide. She did not blink. “Put it down, Thomas.” He did not move. His hand trembled. The shard of mirror in his grip reflected his own face. It was a fractured face. A mask of fear. “It’s broken,” he whispered. “But it’s still...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
