The Wistful SkylineThe rain had been falling since the previous Tuesday, a cold, persistent sheet that turned the cobblestones of Millhaven into a slick, mirror-like expanse reflecting the gray, indifferent sky. Arthur Penhaligon stood at the window of his office on the fourth floor of the municipal records building, watching the water run down the glass in long, trembling rivulets, each one a fleeting path that...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe rain had not stopped for three days, a persistent and gray curtain that blurred the edges of the village and turned the cobblestones into slick mirrors reflecting the hollow, electric glow of the streetlamps, and it was into this damp, heavy silence that Elias Thorne walked, his coat heavy with water, his mind a labyrinth of unanswered questions that he had spent the last decade trying to...0 Comments 0 Shares 5 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded MasqueradeThe rain did not fall so much as it stood, a vertical curtain of grey water that blurred the boundaries between the wet cobblestones of the Market Square and the stone faces of the buildings that leaned in like conspirators, and I was standing there, in the middle of this relentless downpour, holding the handle of my umbrella with a grip so tight my knuckles had turned the color of old bone,...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe house was breathing. It was a slow, tidal rhythm. In. Out. The old oak floorboards creaked under the weight of silence. Thomas sat in the wingback chair. His hands rested on his knees. He did not move. Outside, the rain tapped against the glass. A steady, gray drumming. The neighborhood was empty. The streetlights hummed. He looked at the clock. It read eleven. The doorbell rang. Thomas...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe rain had not stopped for three days, and it felt less like water and more like a grey, persistent static pressing against the glass of the watchtower. Elias Thorne stood with his back to the cold pane, his uniform immaculate, the brass buttons catching the dim, flickering light of the emergency bulb. He was the Senior Officer at the Perimeter, a title that carried the weight of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful PetalThe fever had taken root in the marrow of your bones, a slow, rusting corrosion that turned the air in the small town of Oakhaven into a thick, sweet syrup of decay, so that when you tried to draw breath to call for help, the only thing that came up was the taste of copper and old leaves, and you stood there, uniform stiff and damp with sweat, staring at the horizon where the trees were no...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe oak in the garden was the first thing I saw when I woke, its branches stripped of leaves and standing against the gray November sky like the ribs of a giant, ancient beast. I lay in the center of the bed, the sheets tangled around my legs, and I felt the weight of the room pressing down on my chest, a physical, suffocating heaviness that had nothing to do with gravity and everything to do...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant AffairThe roof of the glasshouse collapsed at 4:12 on a Tuesday morning, shattering into a million jagged teeth that sang in the humid air before they buried themselves in the loam. I was not inside. I was standing in the muddy lane just outside the iron gates, watching the structure I had spent three years building fold in on itself like a dying lung, exhaling its final, green breath. The sound was...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant PromiseYou wake with the taste of iron on your tongue. The air is cold. It cuts through your skin. You are in a room. High ceilings. Stone walls. Dust motes dance in the shafts of grey light. They do not move. They hang. Frozen. You blink. The motes remain. You stand up. Your legs are stiff. You are wearing a coat. Dark wool. It smells of old paper. And fear. You know this place. You do not remember...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
