The Faded BouquetThe bell rang. It was not a chime. It was a scream. A thin, high-pitched shriek that tore through the air of the chapel, shattering the silence of the stone vaults. You froze. Your hand tightened around the iron gate. The metal bit into your palm. Cold. Sharp. Real. You are not a ghost. You are not a spirit. You are a creature of the soil, of the root, of the deep dark earth. You wear the skin...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SkylineThe storm broke over the fortress of Oakhaven not with a roar, but with a silence so heavy it felt like a physical weight pressing against the stone windows. Commander Elias Thorne stood on the highest rampart, his armor dull and scratched, the leather of his gauntlets creaking with the cold. Below him, the city lay in ruins, the smoke from the burning marketplaces rising in thick, gray columns...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrontierThe rain does not fall here. It accumulates. It sits on the shoulders of the world like a wet, heavy wool coat that no one can take off, pressing the air down until it tastes of iron and old pennies. You are in the box. The walls are damp, the concrete sweating a cold mist that fogs your breath before it even leaves your lips. You are the Senior Warden. You hold the Badge. It is a heavy thing,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SagaThe window was small. It looked out onto the oak. The oak was green. It was always green. Elara sat in the chair. Her back hurt. She did not move. The room smelled of wet wool and old paper. Rain tapped on the glass. Tap. Tap. Tap. Outside, the world moved. Cars passed. People walked. They carried umbrellas. They were busy. They were alive. Elara was not busy. She was still. She was seventeen....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GhostThe ink was still wet on the ledger, a black tear in the parchment that refused to dry, when Silas Thorne looked up from his desk and saw the woman standing in the doorway. She did not knock. She did not announce herself. She simply stood there, a silhouette cut from the grey fog that pressed against the high windows of the Ministry of Internal Security, her coat dripping a small, dark puddle...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ShieldHe woke in the dream with blood on his tongue. It tasted of iron. Of old coins. He spat it onto the white tiles. The stain spread. A star. A shield. Broken. Caleb stood by the window. The glass was cold. His hand trembled. He wiped the blood from his chin. He looked at his reflection. He did not recognize the eyes. They were hard. They were empty. He was a knight. Or he thought he was. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful GridThe dream was a corridor of stone. Elara woke with the taste of chalk in her mouth. The air in the chamber was still. It was thick. It smelled of damp wool and old fear. She sat up. Her hands were shaking. They were small hands. They were her hands. The door was locked. It had always been locked. "Get up," the voice said. It came from the shadows. It was a low rumble. It was the voice of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MistYou drive the truck north. The engine hums a low, steady note. It is the sound of work. You know the roads. You know the weight of the cargo. It is steel. Heavy, cold, and dead. You do not look in the rearview mirror. You do not need to. You feel the presence behind you. It is not a person. It is a feeling. Like pressure in the ears before a storm. The destination is the Foundry. It sits on the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a persistent, gray mist that seeped into the porous limestone walls of the St. Jude’s Community Center, turning the polished oak floorboards into a slick, treacherous mirror that reflected the distorted, swaying forms of the three hundred men and women who had gathered there to celebrate the annual Harvest of Gratitude, a festival that had...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
