The Golden ScarThe cell is cold. It is not the damp cold of winter, but a dry, dead cold. It sits in your lungs. You are Margaret. You are alone. The stone walls press in. They are not just stone. They are the mouth of the beast. You sit on the floor. Your back is against the wall. You do not look up. You do not need to look up. You know what is coming. You have known for three days. The silence is louder...0 Comments 0 Shares 25 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale FractureThe rain fell like ash. It coated the cobblestones of Oakhaven in a grey, slick film that reflected the dull glow of the streetlamps. Elias Vance stood at the edge of the square. His sword was drawn. The blade was short, practical, forged by the Guild. It did not shine. It only cut. Around him, the crowd held its breath. They were dressed in their best wool, but their faces were pale. Fear is a...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ApartmentThe hand of Margaret Holloway was a thing of terrible architecture, a map of veins and knuckles that had outlived the softness of her youth. It sat upon the mahogany desk, fingers interlaced, waiting. The waiting was a physical weight, a pressure against the temples that threatened to split the skull open. Outside the window, the city hummed its low, indifferent song, a tapestry of neon and...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale GardenThe chandelier above you does not swing; it trembles, a faint, arrhythmic shudder that seems less like a draft and more like the building itself holding its breath. You stand at the edge of the mahogany table, your hand resting on the cold, polished surface, feeling the vibration travel up through your knuckles, into the bone, into the marrow where time has settled like silt in a stagnant...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe rain had not stopped for three days, a persistent, grey curtain that turned the world outside the window into a watercolor of indistinct shapes and fading light. I sat in the study of the old manor house, the air thick with the scent of damp wool and the medicinal tang of the herbs my mother had crushed into poultices, her hands steady even as her mind began to slip away into the fog. We...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded AtticThe rain did not fall. It hung. A grey curtain of static and wet wool, pressing against the windows of the old manor house, sealing the valley in a breathless, damp shroud. Thomas stood by the hearth. The fire was dying. Embers glowed like dying eyes in the ash. He watched them. He did not move. His hands were stiff. They were the hands of a man who had held a rifle too long, who had pulled...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden DowntownThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a fine, gray mist that coated the skin of the city in a film of dampness. It was the kind of weather that made the air taste of iron and old pennies, a taste that lingered on the back of the tongue long after the breath had passed. In the lower districts, where the cobblestones were slick with algae and the shop windows were dark, a boy named Julian...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful IncenseThe bell tolled the hour of the wolf. I did not look up. My quill dipped into ink that had begun to smell of rot, and I wrote the name. It was a name I knew. It was a name I loved. I wrote it with a steady hand. The parchment was thin. It tore slightly at the corner. I did not care. I sat in the archive of the High Court. The air was stale and cold. It smelled of dust and old paper. I am a...0 Comments 0 Shares 16 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MachineThe rain against the windowpane is not water, but a thousand small, wet fingers trying to pull you out of the house, out of the skin, back into the cold, wet earth where the roots still drink. You know this because you have always known it. You are Margaret, and you are dying, and the city is alive. It has been three days since the doctor spoke his words, soft and final, like snow falling on a...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
