The Distant BladeThe rain fell in sheets of iron against the slate roof of the watchtower, a rhythmic, percussive drumming that seemed to count down the seconds of my existence. I stood before the mirror, the glass dark and clouded with the damp chill of the mountain air, and I watched the man who wore my face. He was not a hero, nor was he a villain; he was a mechanism of the Crown, a blade forged in the fires...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CircuitThe letter arrived on a Tuesday. It was heavy. Thick paper. Cream colored. Miles opened it. His hands shook. He was a soldier. A good one. He had killed men in the dark. He had buried them in the mud. But this was different. This was inside his head. The handwriting was his own. Not similar. Identical. The same slant. The same pressure marks. He read the first line. *You are still trying to...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden HarborYou stand in the hall. The air is thick with dust and silence. The stones are cold under your boots. You are the Watch. You are the wall. You are the eye that does not blink. The chandelier above is a cage of dead moths. It hangs low. It sways slightly. A breath of wind from the high windows. The glass is thin. The glass is brittle. "Is it true?" The voice comes from the shadows. It is Lord...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful MirrorThe feast is a blur of gold leaf and roasted swan, the air thick with the scent of spiced wine and melting tallow. You sit at the far end of the long oak table, a place of honor that feels less like a throne and more like a trap. Before you lies a bowl of porridge, thick and warm, studded with dried berries that have softened into dark, sweet pulps. It is the only thing on the table that looks...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale AltarThe broth was thick, the color of old blood, and it smelled of iron and rot. I sat at the edge of the table, my hands trembling so violently that the spoon clattered against the porcelain bowl with a sound like a small, broken bone. My father, Silas, watched me from the other side. He did not eat. He never ate anymore. His face was a map of the hunger he had survived, etched in lines so deep...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe letter was written in blue ink. It lay on the table. The table was wooden. It was scarred. The scars were deep. They were old. The ink had faded. It was barely there. It was a whisper. It was a ghost. The paper was thin. It was brittle. It smelled of dust. It smelled of time. It smelled of rain. It smelled of grief. The letter was from him. It was from Arthur. Arthur was gone. He had been...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe hall smelled of roasted lamb and expensive cologne, a thick, cloying perfume that clung to the velvet curtains and the sweat of the dancers. Elias stood near the pillar, holding a glass of champagne he did not drink, watching the light catch the dust motes dancing in the beams of the chandeliers. It was a feast for the eyes, a gilded cage of sound and motion. To his left, Thomas Bradshaw...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe dream was made of iron filings. They clung to Julian’s tongue, gritty and cold. He woke with the taste of rust in his mouth. It was a Tuesday. The rain hammered against the window of his room in the group home, a steady, rhythmic drumming that felt like the heartbeat of something vast and indifferent. Julian was twelve. He wore his white shirt, stiff and clean, over a grey turtleneck. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AtlasThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a suspended, grey curtain that smelled of wet iron and rotting lichen, and within this damp suspension, Elias Thorne stood with his back against the cold brick of the old pumping station, watching the river swallow the light. He was a man of middling years, dressed in a suit that had seen better decades, the fabric darkening at the knees...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
