The Distant MetropolisThe room smells of burnt sugar and stale beer, a thick, cloying haze that clings to the back of your throat. You are standing in the center of the living room, surrounded by the soft, shuffling bodies of your colleagues from the data entry firm. It is the annual end-of-year gala, or rather, the excuse for the annual end-of-year drinking session. The air is warm, almost humid, with the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe jar sits on the table. It is cracked. You hold it in your hand. The glass is thin. It weeps a sweet, sticky fluid. Amber. Thick. It smells of honey and rot. You are a man of the law. You wear the badge. The gold is tarnished. You wipe it with your sleeve. It never stays clean. The city is gray. The smoke hangs low. It chokes the light. It chokes the lungs. It chokes the truth. You stand on...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant NightmareThe cart groaned under the weight of the stone, a sound that seemed to come from the earth itself rather than the wood, as Professor Elias Thorne guided his mule along the narrow track that cut through the heather. The air in the Scottish Highlands was thin and cold, carrying the metallic scent of impending rain and the faint, ozone-like charge that had been building in his chest for three...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant SummerThe oak doors of the university chapel stand open to the night air, a gaping mouth exhaling the scent of damp stone and old velvet, and you are standing in the center of the nave, feeling the vibration of the strings in the floorboards beneath your feet as the strings of the cello from the ensemble above seem to hum against your own spine, a low, resonant thrum that has nothing to do with the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CircuitThe letter is in your hand. It is thin. It is old. The paper smells of dust and dried lavender. You are in the attic. The air is still. You open the envelope. You read the name. It is your name. You look up. The room is dark. A single beam of light cuts through the dust. You see a chair. It is empty. You sit in it. You remember. You were a warrior. Not with a sword. With words. You fought for...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a fine, gray mist that clung to the stone walls of the old abbey, turning the damp moss into something that looked less like plant life and more like the exposed, wet nerves of the earth. You stood in the center of the nave, your feet bare on the cold flagstones, the air tasting of iron and old incense. It was a strange place to work, this...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful PetalThe rain hit the gravel with a sound like tearing cloth. Miles stood in the doorway of the station. It was not a grand station. It was a concrete box. Gray. Stained. The lights flickered. They buzzed like angry bees. Miles held the key. It was cold in his hand. Metal. Heavy. He looked at the platform. Empty. The tracks stretched out into the dark. Miles was a clerk. He worked in Room 4. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded SutraThe dream began not with a sound but with a weight, a profound and crushing heaviness that settled upon the shoulders of young Elias like a shroud of wet wool. He was standing in the center of the Great Hall, a space so vast and high-ceilinged that the candles burning in the iron sconces along the walls looked less like flames and more like distant stars trapped in glass. The air was thick,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe iron gates of Blackwood Manor did not creak; they groaned, a low, tectonic shudder that vibrated through the cobblestones and up into the soles of Alder Thorne’s boots. He stood in the courtyard, his hands wrapped around the rough-hewn wooden box, feeling the frantic, bird-like flutter of the wings inside. The air was thick with the scent of rotting lilies and old rain, a perfume that...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
