The Golden CellarThe frost lay thick upon the cobblestones of Blackwood, a white shroud that muffled the city’s breath. Elias Thorne walked with the heavy, measured step of a man who had long ago forgotten the weight of his own limbs. He was the Warden of the Lower Gates, a title that carried little glory but immense responsibility. His uniform, a tunic of deep grey wool, was patched at the elbow, the fabric...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RootThe banquet hall, which had once housed the living breath of three generations of the Ashworth lineage, now served as a cathedral for the dead, its high vaulted ceilings pressing down with the weight of centuries and the silence of a world that had forgotten how to speak. I stood in the center of the marble floor, my uniform immaculate yet feeling like a shroud woven from the threads of my own...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ProtocolThe house breathed. It was a slow, wet sound. Like a lung filling with cold water. Elias sat on the edge of the bed. His hands were shaking. He looked at them. The knuckles were white. The skin was tight over the bones. He had been dreaming of the door again. The heavy oak door in the cellar. It was painted black. The paint was peeling. It looked like dead skin. In the dream, the door was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SilenceThe fog did not merely settle upon the valley of Aethelgard; it breathed, a slow and rhythmic exhalation of grey mist that swallowed the spires of the old city whole, reducing the towering architecture of stone and glass to mere suggestions of geometry. Elara stood at the precipice of the White Bridge, her fingers laced tightly through the iron railing, feeling the cold seep into the very...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe seal is warm. It presses against your thumb. Wax. Red. Deep. You know the weight of it. You have carried this weight for years. The air in the hall is stale. Dust motes dance. They catch the light. You are the Warden. You are the hand. You are the law. The stone floor is cold. Your boots are steel. Click. Clack. Click. You walk. The corridors are long. They stretch into shadow. You do not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TaleThe glass is cold. You hold it in your left hand. The rim bites into your skin. It is a thin sliver of amber. It does not break. You have carried it for three years. You walk down the street in the grey city. The fog is thick. It tastes of iron and old rain. You are a man who makes things. You carve wood. You shape stone. Your hands are rough. They are mapped with scars. You are poor. Your...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale FractureThe dream had no floor. It was only a void of grey static, humming with a frequency that vibrated in the teeth. Elias stood there, suspended in the nothing, holding a brass compass that pointed not north, but toward a wound in the air. The needle spun, erratic and frantic, before locking onto a jagged tear of pale light. He reached out. The static parted. He fell. He woke to the smell of wet...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden DowntownThe steam from the radiator hissed a low, continuous note that seemed to vibrate in the marrow of my bones, a mechanical heartbeat that had replaced the natural one years ago, filling the damp, coal-scented air of the study where I sat with my hands wrapped around a mug of tea that had long since gone cold, watching the dust motes dance in the single beam of light cutting through the heavy...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BonsaiYou hold the box. It is small. Wood. Dark. Heavy. Your hands are steady. They are not shaking. You are a soldier. You do not shake. The city is gray. Steam rises from the grates. It smells of coal and wet wool. It is November. The air bites. You walk. Your boots strike the cobblestones. *Clack. Clack. Clack.* A metronome of duty. You are not alone. Thomas walks beside you. He is your ally. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
