The Wistful SagaThe feast was a thing of smoke and bone, held in the deep, vaulted cellar of the miller’s house where the air hung thick with the scent of roasting pork and stale beer. Thomas sat at the far end of the long table, his hands buried deep in the folds of his roughspun tunic, feeling the heat of the hearth fire against his shins while the cold dampness of the stone floor leached into his feet. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CrossroadsThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a suspended grey veil that smelled of wet wool and old iron, clinging to the cobblestones of Millhaven with a persistence that felt less like weather and more like a curse laid upon the town by some forgotten god of the harvest. It was the year of the black frost, or so the elders claimed, though the frost had not yet come, only the chill...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe rain tapped a relentless, rhythmic code against the high, arched windows of the Hall, a sound that had long since ceased to be mere weather and had become the pulse of your confinement. You sat in the corner of the vast, empty chamber, your hands folded in your lap, fingers intertwined until the knuckles turned white. The room smelled of wet stone and old paper, a scent that clung to your...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale VerdictThe rain did not fall so much as it hovered, a suspended gray veil that erased the boundary between the stone floor of the scriptorium and the wet earth beyond the high, narrow windows. Inside, the air was thick with the smell of oak gall ink, dried lavender, and the faint, metallic tang of fear. Brother Elias sat at the heavy oak table, his back straight as a ruler, his hands resting flat on...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JokeThe rain had been falling on the city for three days, a relentless, gray curtain that turned the streets into shallow rivers of mud and broken glass. In the basement of the old textile mill on 4th Street, where the air tasted of damp wool and centuries of accumulated dust, Elias Thorne sat before a table that was more rot than wood. He was a man who had worn his skin like a coat that no longer...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CampusThe bell rang. It was a low, bronze hum. It shook the dust. It shook the floorboards. It shook the bones of the old hall. Elias stood. He stood by the window. The glass was thick. It was old. It warped the light. It warped the world outside. He watched the rain. The rain fell on the courtyard. It fell on the stone. It fell on the heads of the boys. They bowed. They bowed to the Dean. The Dean...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CrownThe rain fell in sheets. It hammered against the tin roof of the watchtower. Thomas sat in the dark. He held his rifle. His hands shook. The enemy was close. He could hear them. Boots on mud. Low voices. They were coming up the hill. Thomas knew the drill. He knew the order. Hold the line. Wait for the signal. He waited. The night was thick. It smelled of wet earth and iron. Thomas closed his...0 Comments 0 Shares 3 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe rain fell on the moor with the weight of old iron, a grey curtain that blurred the line between the earth and the sky, and Dr. Elias Thorne stood at the center of this dissolving world, his boots sinking into the peat, his hands trembling not from the cold but from the terrible, humming vibration that had taken root in his bones three days prior. He was a man of letters, of dusty archives...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GardenThe rain did not fall so much as it existed, a perpetual, heavy suspension of grey water that turned the streets of Millhaven into rivers of oily sludge. I sat in the corner booth of The Rusty Nail, my hands wrapped around a mug of coffee that had gone cold three hours ago, watching the condensation bead on the glass and slide down in long, weeping lines. My name is Arthur Penhaligon, and I am...0 Comments 0 Shares 8 Views 0 Reviews
