The Wistful AshesThe door was not locked. It was never locked. In the grey, industrial sprawl of the town, the perimeter was a myth we all agreed to believe so that the silence inside could be maintained. You stood before the iron gate, your hand resting on the cold metal. The air smelled of wet ash and rust. Your uniform was stained. It was always stained. Not with mud, but with the fine, grey dust that...0 Comments 0 Shares 26 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RootThe coat was still warm, though the air in the corridor was the color of old iron. It hung on the back of a chair that faced the window, a heavy thing of charcoal wool, its lining a deep, bruised purple that seemed to absorb the grey light filtering through the glass. It did not move. It did not breathe. It simply existed, a perfect, static silhouette against the chaos of the room. Thomas stood...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden EchoesThe rain had not stopped for three days, a persistent, gray curtain that turned the gravel road into a slurry of mud and regret, and I kept telling myself that I was simply walking because I had nowhere else to go, that the blister on my left heel was just a minor inconvenience, a small price to pay for the freedom of being unchained, yet the more I walked, the heavier the air became, thick...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ClueThe roof caved in while I was still counting the breaths of the dying, a sudden collapse of slate and timber that turned the night into a blinding white flash of dust and starlight. I did not scream, for my throat had been closed by the shock, but the air rushed into my lungs with a violence that felt like being struck, and I stood amidst the ruins of the chapel, my hands trembling not from...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe dream was wet. It was always wet. I woke to the smell of rotting hay and the sound of my own breathing, shallow and quick, in the dark of the cellar. Outside, the rain hammered against the thatch of the roof, a relentless drumming that seemed to beat in time with the pulse in my temples. I pulled the wool blanket tighter. It smelled of mildew and old sweat. It smelled like the house. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BonsaiThe rain hits the tin roof like gravel. You are holding the branch. It is white. It is dry. It smells of nothing. You stand in the corner of the room. The walls are peeling. Paint curls up like dead skin. The air is thick with the scent of wet wool and old iron. You are a sergeant. You know this. The badge is heavy on your chest. It burns. Across the room, the old man sits. His name is Arthur....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale CircusThe rain does not fall so much as it is imposed, a heavy, grey curtain that presses against the windows of the manor house, blurring the world outside into a smear of mud and rotting leaves, and you are standing in the center of the long gallery, your hands slick with sweat, your breathing a ragged tear in the silence, holding a sword that has become so light it feels like a hollow bone, a...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PhotographThe wind in the highlands did not blow so much as it breathed, a slow, rhythmic exhalation that carried the scent of rotting peat and ancient stone into the marrow of Elias’s bones, where it settled like a fine, grey silt that he could feel accumulating in the joints of his hands, those hands that had once been strong enough to crush the heads of crows with a casual twist of the wrist but were...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MeridianThe air in the Hall of Echoes tastes of copper and stale wine. You are seated at a long table, your armor polished to a mirror shine, reflecting the candlelight and the faces of those who have come to watch. It is a feast. The plates are silver, heavy with roast duck and root vegetables. The bread is dark, dense, breaking apart in your mouth like earth. You eat. You must eat. The body requires...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
