The Faded FrequencyThe rain hits the windshield like static. You wipe it away. The wipers are broken. You are in the truck. The engine is dead. The cold is a physical thing. It presses against your ribs. You are a man who fixes things. Pipes. Radiators. The plumbing of the old world. Now the world is wet and dark. Your phone has no signal. The battery is at two percent. You see the lights in the distance. They...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden SuspectThe rain did not fall. It seeped. It crept into the stones of Harrowgate like a slow, cold poison. It stained the mortar black. It rotted the wood from the inside out. Elias stood at the window. He watched the grey sheet of water blur the street below. His hands were shaking. They had been shaking for three days. He pressed them flat against the glass. The cold bit his skin. It felt good. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant Whispers"Cut." You freeze. Your hand hovers over the skin. The blade is still. The air is thick. It smells of iron and sweat. You are the Surgeon. Or so they call you. You hold the knife. You hold the truth. "Again," says the Magistrate. He sits in the shadow. His face is a mask of bone. "Do it properly this time, Doctor." You nod. You do not speak. You cannot. Your throat is closed. You are a prisoner...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded AtticMaren dreamed of a hand. Not a specific hand, but the concept of one. The fingers were long, pale, and stripped of skin. They were bone white, like the inside of a seashell. They gripped nothing. They held the air with the tension of a bowstring. Maren woke with her own right hand clamped under her cheek. The pressure left four red ridges. She sat up. The room was dark. The cold was a physical...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JourneyThe jar sat on the high shelf of the apothecary, a vessel of obsidian glass that seemed to drink the dim light of the shop, holding within it a substance that was less a liquid and more a suspended galaxy of iridescent dust. It was called the Mote of Aethelgard, a legacy of the old alchemists, a powder said to preserve the essence of a moment forever, to halt the decay of the soul if...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MeridianThe dream was a lattice of green. Not the green of spring, but the sickly, verdigris hue of decay. It stretched out in a perfect grid, a wire mesh suspended in a void of black water. Marcus stood on the grid. His boots were heavy. They were not the soft leather of the field, but the stiff, steel-toed shoes of the guard house. He could feel the vibration of the wires beneath his feet. They...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JourneyYou stand before the glass, a pane of polished obsidian that stretches from the floor to the high, vaulted ceiling of the chamber, and in its depths you do not see your face, but a stranger wearing your skin. It is a trick of the light, or perhaps of the soul, for the reflection stares back with an emptiness that you have never quite managed to replicate in your own eyes. You are here because...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden HarborThe door was not a door. It was a wound in the air. I stood before it, my hand hovering over the brass handle. The metal was cold. Colder than the November wind outside. Colder than the grave I had dug for my pride three years prior. This was the Sanatorium for the Displaced Mind. A place of white stone and silent corridors. A place where the broken were kept until they stopped breaking. I am...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ApartmentThe air in the cellar of the old manor house did not merely sit; it accumulated, a thick, gelatinous substance that pressed against the skin and coated the lungs with the taste of damp earth and decaying wood. Elias Thorne stood in the center of the room, his hands trembling not from cold, though the temperature was a biting, persistent chill, but from the sheer, overwhelming weight of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
