The Faded FrequencyThe rain does not fall here so much as it accumulates, a heavy, grey suspension that hangs in the air like a threat that has forgotten how to execute itself, and you stand at the edge of the perimeter, the boundary line a shimmering distortion in the mist that separates the wet, broken earth of the waking world from the sterile, humming white void of the interior, and you are supposed to be...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ShieldThe rain in the city of Aethelgard did not fall so much as it suspended, a fine, grey mist that clung to the cobblestones and the faces of the passersby, erasing the sharp lines of the world until everything looked as though it had been painted by a hand that had forgotten how to hold the brush. In the high tower of the Magistrate’s residence, old Silas Vane stood by the window, watching the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful MirrorHe woke in the dark. The air tasted of iron and wet stone. The dream had not ended. It only changed shape. Thomas lay in the mud. The castle loomed. It was not a ruin. It was whole. It was new. The mortar was white. The banners flew. They were red. They were his color. He was inside. He was part of the wall. He was the mortar. He was the stone. He remembered the order. Hold the gate. Do not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded Shield"You're under arrest, Elias." The voice was cold. It was the voice of the room. I looked up. The floor was wet. My coat was soaked through. The wool clung to my skin like a second, heavier soul. I did not move. I could not move. The pain in my ribs was a white fire. It burned. It was clean. Captain Halloway stood over me. He held the pistol. His hand was steady. His face was a mask of wax. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MachineThe champagne was cold. It sat in glasses that trembled with the vibration of the floor. We were in the rotunda. The lights were too bright. They burned into the retina. I could not blink. My eyes watered. The music was a drone. A low, industrial hum. It came from the speakers buried in the walls. The walls were marble. White. Cold. General Vance stood at the center. He did not move. He was a...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CampusThe house breathed. That was the first thing Mara noticed when she stepped off the train. The old brick exhaled a sigh of damp earth and woodsmoke, settling against her ankles like a heavy coat. It was a Tuesday. It was always a Tuesday in her mind, a loop of grey sky and wet pavement that refused to break. She had come back to the estate to clear it out. To sell the chairs. To burn the books....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MeridianThe house breathed in the dark. It was a large, old thing, built of stone that had turned grey with the rain of a hundred years. Inside, the silence was heavy. It pressed against the walls. It settled in the corners. It waited. Arthur sat in the chair by the window. His back was straight. His hands rested on his knees. They were still. They were always still. He was a man of order. He had spent...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SilenceThe glass was cold. I touched the pane. It was ancient. Stone. Moss. My hand pressed flat. The reflection stared back. Eyes wide. Lips parted. A stranger. Not me. Or was it? The tower stood alone. High. Cold. I climbed. Step by step. Stone. Dust. Breath. Short. Quick. The air was thin. Sharp. It cut. My lungs burned. I did not stop. I could not stop. The silence was loud. It hummed. A low...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ParadoxThe coat was red. It sat on the hook by the door. A deep, arterial red. It looked new. I knew it was not. I pulled it on. It fit me. It had always fit me. "Look at you," said the woman in the kitchen. She was my sister. Claire. She held a cup of tea. Her hands shook. "I am cold," I said. "You are never cold. You are always burning." I looked in the mirror. My face was pale. My eyes were dark....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
