The Wistful WitnessThe road to the highlands was not a road at all, but a scar of white gravel that cut through the heather like a vein of bone in old flesh. Elias Thorne walked it with the heavy, rhythmic gait of a man who had forgotten the sensation of his legs, so long had he been a mind moving through a world that refused to be mapped. He was a seeker of the Mark, a title that in the lowlands meant a hunter...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AtlasThe train had been running late for three hours, a sluggish, breathing thing of iron and rust that dragged its weight through the foggy valleys of the Blackwood Ridge. Elias Thorne sat in the corner of the second-class carriage, his knees drawn up to his chest, holding the heavy leather-bound book in his lap. It was not a book of words, but of lines and borders, a map of the world as it had...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe road to Oakhaven was a ribbon of red clay that stretched endlessly under the pale, autumn sun. Thomas Bradshaw walked it with a heavy step, his boots worn thin at the heels. He carried a satchel of leather and iron, clinking softly against his hip, containing the only thing he had left: a map. It was not a map of the land, but of the court. It was drawn in ink that had faded to the color of...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundYou dream of a road that does not end. It is paved with white stones, smooth as bone, stretching out into a gray mist that tastes of iron and old dust. You are walking, though you do not remember starting. Your boots are heavy, not with mud, but with a leaden fatigue that settles deep in the marrow. The air is thin here, harder to pull into your lungs, as if the atmosphere itself has thinned...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant BladeThe air tasted of iron and ozone, a metallic tang that coated the back of my throat and settled into the lungs like ash. I stood on the precipice of the glass cliff, the wind whipping my hair into a dark, tangled knot against my face, while below me, the abyss churned with a violet mist that defied the laws of gravity. In my hand, I held a blade forged from starlight and sorrow, its edge...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe door to the watchtower groaned shut. It was a heavy sound, final and metallic, sealing the world outside. Inside, the air was thin. It tasted of rust and old sweat. Elias stood by the glass. He was old. His knees clicked when he shifted weight. The pain was a dull, constant hum in his joints. It reminded him that time was not a river. It was a millstone. Grinding him down. He looked at the...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe bread was stale. It sat on the rough-hewn table, gray and hard as a stone. Elias picked it up. He broke it. The crust crumbled. It tasted of dust. It tasted of guilt. He was in the cell. The stone was cold. The air was thick. It smelled of damp earth and old blood. This was the Abbey. The year was 1348. The plague had taken the village. It had taken the monks. It had taken hope. Elias was a...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded QuadrantThe dream was always the same, a static hiss of white noise behind the eyes, and then the smell of damp wool and iron. Warrant Officer Thomas Bradshaw woke with the taste of copper in his mouth, the heavy, metallic tang that signaled a bruise forming somewhere deep in his ribs. He did not open his eyes. He lay in the narrow cot of his quarters in the basement of the station house, listening to...0 Comments 0 Shares 26 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ClueThe train pulls out, and you don’t look back. That is the first mistake. Or perhaps the last. It depends on how you slice the silence that follows. You are standing on the platform at Oakhaven, a town that exists in the gray static between one decade and the next, where the bricks are red but the air is always the color of wet wool. You are holding a bag that feels heavier than it should....0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews
