The Faded RiverYou are bleeding, and the blood is not yours, or perhaps it is, for in the iron-clad belly of this ship, where the air tastes of rust and old sweat, the distinction between self and other has long since dissolved into a thick, red sludge that coats the inside of your mouth and the backs of your eyes. You are the Warden, a title that sounds like a gatekeeper of stone and silence, but here, in...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe city of Ostrava was built on bones. Not human bones, but the fossilized ribs of the earth, twisted into coal seams and iron veins. It was a place where the air tasted of rust and the light never quite managed to pierce the grey veil of industry. Elias Thorne stood on the bridge, watching the Vltava flow beneath him. He did not look at the water. He looked at his hands. They were shaking....0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinThe dream was not of flight, but of weight. It was a grey, suffocating fog that clung to the skin like wet wool. In it, Thomas saw his own body, but it was wrong. The bones were too thin, the joints swollen with a dark, viscous fluid that leaked from the pores. He was standing in the hallway of the house, the one with the peeling yellow wallpaper and the floorboards that groaned under the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DanceThe fog that rolled in from the harbor did not merely obscure the world; it replaced it, weaving a gray shroud over the cobblestones and the iron lampposts until the city of Harrowgate became a memory rather than a place. Elias Thorne moved through this damp silence with the mechanical precision of a man who had long since stopped distinguishing between his own breath and the air he occupied....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden ScarThe house stood in the valley like a broken tooth, white and exposed against the dark pine forests. It had no owner, or rather, it owned itself. The stone was old, worn by centuries of rain and the slow, grinding weight of silence. Eleanor did not remember crossing the border. She only remembered the cold, and then she was standing in the garden, her hands shaking, her breath pluming in the air...0 Comments 0 Shares 25 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant AffairThe iron pommel of my sword was slick with sweat and something darker. I did not look up. I could not. To look up would be to see the face I had spent ten years trying to kill, and my arms would fail me. The man before me was wearing the blackened plate of the Order of the Silver Coin. His helm was off, resting in the mud behind him, revealing a jaw clenched in a grimace that looked too...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CircuitThe lights were too bright. They cut into the retina, a sterile white that erased shadow. I stood at the center of the room, holding a glass of champagne that trembled in my hand. The ice clinked, a sharp, rhythmic warning. Around me, the hum of the gala was a physical weight. It pressed against my eardrums. I was forty-two. My face was in the mirror. I did not recognize it. The skin was thin....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe bus hums. A low, electric thrum that vibrates in my molars. I am riding south. The seats are vinyl, cracked and peeling, smelling of old sweat and floor wax. My left hand rests on my lap. It is still. It has been still for six days. The doctor called it atrophy. I call it silence. My father is in the back. He is not my father. Not anymore. He is a shape in the window. A blur of grey wool...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ApartmentThe rain had not stopped for three days, a persistent, grey curtain that turned the city into a watercolor of smudged charcoal and wet slate, and in the small, fourth-floor apartment that smelled of damp wool and old paper, a boy named Elias sat with his back against the cold radiator, his hands wrapped tightly around his own knees, feeling the heat of the metal seep into his palms like a slow,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
