The Golden VisitThe server brings the wine to the table, a deep, arterial red that looks less like a beverage and more like a concentrated secret, and you watch the liquid tremble in the glass as if it is alive, as if it knows it is being observed by something that has forgotten how to blink. You are sitting in the back corner of the restaurant, the one where the light from the chandelier fails to reach the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale AltarThe rain fell on the cobblestones of Oakhaven like a grey curtain drawn across the window. Elias walked. His boots were wet. His soul was dry. He carried a basket. It held three white eggs. They were smooth. They were cold. They were not for breakfast. He walked past the bakery. The smell of yeast hit him. He was hungry. He ignored it. He walked past the well. He was thirsty. He ignored it. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RiverThe banquet hall smells of wax and stale wine, the air thick with the humidity of too many bodies pressed together in the gloom. You sit at the long oak table, your hands folded, the leather of your gloves worn thin at the knuckles, a map of white scars beneath the dark surface. The candles flicker, casting long, dancing shadows that seem to writhe like living things against the stone walls....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded AtticThe rain was a gray curtain against the window, blurring the world outside into a smear of asphalt and sodium light. You stood in the center of the room, your boots heavy on the hardwood, listening to the tick of the clock. It was a sound that had been waiting for you, a metronome for a dance you hadn't realized you were already performing. Your father had left this room exactly as he found it,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe river was low. It lay flat against the mud. A ribbon of gray. It looked tired. I looked at it. I felt tired too. I held the stone. It was in my pocket. It rubbed against my thigh. A cold weight. I had picked it up yesterday. It was smooth. It was white. It was chipped. I walked the bank. My boots squelched. The mud was deep. It pulled at my heels. I did not care. I needed to walk. I needed...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant PromiseThe ink on the manuscript page was still wet, glistening like a fresh wound in the dim, amber light of the scriptorium. You held your quill steady, the nib trembling slightly against the vellum, for the words you were writing did not come from your mind but from a voice that had begun to whisper in your ears three days ago, a voice that spoke of a door in the East Wing that should not be...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe rain fell on the roof of the precinct with a sound like dry leaves being crushed underfoot, a relentless, gray hiss that seemed to drown out the world beyond the reinforced glass. Silas Vane sat in the corner of the interrogation room, his back against the cold steel of the wall, his hands folded in his lap. He was a man built of quiet endurance and old scars, his face a map of lines that...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe heavy oak door groaned open, a sound like the last gasp of a dying man, and Master Aldous stepped out onto the cobblestones of the palace forecourt, where the morning mist clung to the stones with a tenacity that felt less like weather and more like the lingering breath of the dead who had once walked these hallowed, damp grounds. He held in his calloused, trembling hands the small,...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CrossingThe hammer fell with the heavy, rhythmic thud of a heart beating in a chest that was slowly forgetting how to stop, striking the anvil until the sparks flew up like startled fireflies into the thick, violet smoke that hung over the valley of Ashenmere, a place that existed on the margins of the map where the ink had been washed away by the rains of history and the air tasted of copper and old...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews
