The Wistful VoyageYou sit in the dark. The room is small. The air is thick. It smells of wet wool and old paper. You are a mapmaker. You draw the world for men who do not know how to read it. Your hands are steady. Your eyes are sharp. But your heart is heavy. It has been heavy for years. It is a stone in your chest. It will not go away. Old Thomas sits across from you. He is your master. He is your friend. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe rain did not fall so much as it descended, a cold, persistent curtain that blurred the boundary between the stone walls of the Inquisition’s outer keep and the muddy road where Brother Thomas stood. He had ridden hard for three days, his horse, a destitute bay named Silas, breathing in ragged, wet heaves. Thomas was not a knight in the traditional sense, though he wore the heavy, dented...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RootThe rain did not fall so much as it insisted, a gray and relentless curtain that blurred the boundary between the road and the ditch, turning the world into a smear of mud and rust. You are driving, or rather, you are being driven by the car, a heavy, old Ford that groans with every turn of the wheel, its engine coughing up black smoke that smells of burnt oil and old grief. It is 1954, a time...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MazeThe rain lashed against the high, arched windows of the Whitmore estate like a frantic crowd begging to be let in, but the glass held firm, distorting the gray world outside into a trembling, liquid mosaic. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of old paper and wet wool, a heavy, suffocating perfume that seemed to cling to the skin of every object in the library. Elias Thorne stood at the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe glass shatters. It is a long, thin sound. It splits the air in the hallway. You hold your breath. The shards glitter on the dark wood floor. You are a man of the law. You have worn the badge for twenty years. Your hands are steady. They are always steady. The mirror was beautiful. It belonged to your father. He brought it home from the factory in 1920. It was a prize. It was a promise. Now...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale CircusThe fog did not roll in; it breathed. It exhaled a cold, metallic scent that tasted of rust and old blood. I walked through the mist, my boots striking the cobblestones with a rhythm that felt less like walking and more like a countdown. I was a Captain in the Imperial Guard, or so the badge on my chest claimed. It was a silver disc, heavy and cold, pressed against my sternum. It did not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden VisitYou wake. The cold bites. It is the cold that stays. The cell is stone. Grey. Wet. Damp seeps into your bones. You are here. You know why. But the why does not matter. The stone matters. Your hands matter. Look at them. They are shaking. Why are they shaking? Fear. No. Hunger. No. They are just hands. They are the only things you have left. The rest is gone. The rest was taken. Or you gave it....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe mud sucked at his boots. It was a sound like teeth chewing on wet clay. Marcus Ashworth did not look down. He looked at the gate. The iron bars were rusted red. They bled. That was the first thing. The blood on the bars. It was fresh. It ran in thin, dark lines into the dirt. Marcus felt a cold spike in his chest. Not fear. Not yet. Confusion. He was a soldier. He knew blood. He knew where...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe ink is dry. You look at the signature, your own name scrawled in that cheap black gel pen. It looks like a wound. You look at the gold stamp next to it. It looks like a lie. The office is cold. It has always been cold. You remember the heating bill from last winter, the one you didn’t pay. You remember the radiator ticking, a dry, skeletal sound, like a bone breaking in the dark. You were...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
