The Faded ApartmentYou are standing in the center of the hall, your boots sinking slightly into the thick, matted carpet that has long since lost its original hue, now a murky blend of beige and dust that absorbs the light from the single, bare bulb hanging from the chandelier’s rusted armature. The air is thick, heavy with the scent of damp stone, old paper, and the faint, metallic tang of fear that seems to...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant MetropolisThe air in the dining room was thick with the scent of roasted duck and the low, humming vibration of a hundred conversations that you could hear but not quite understand, a cacophony of laughter and the clinking of crystal that seemed to vibrate against your teeth as you stood by the heavy oak table, watching your younger sister, Clara, spin in the center of the room, her dress a swirl of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PhotographThe air in the Hall of Whispers tasted of dust and old stone, a thick, particulate haze that settled in the lungs and refused to leave. Sir Julian Thorne stood by the heavy oak doors, his hand resting on the hilt of a sword he had not drawn in thirty years, watching the sun bleed out across the courtyard below. He was a man carved from the same grey rock as the castle walls, his face a map of...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ShieldThe bell in the spire of All Saints’ Church did not ring to call the faithful, but to warn them away. You knew this, as you knew the taste of iron in the back of your throat, as you knew the way the frost bit into the exposed skin of your knuckles. You were the Archivist, the keeper of the words that were not meant to be spoken, and you stood at the threshold of the village that had once been...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MirrorThe fog did not roll in; it seeped, a cold, viscous thing that tasted of iron and old salt. I woke with the taste on my tongue, the taste of the trench, of the mud that had swallowed my brother whole. I was standing in a corridor that stretched into an infinity of gray stone, the air thick with the scent of ozone and dried lavender. My hands were steady. For the first time since the armistice,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PhotographThe feast was a thing of smoke and shadow, held in the belly of a stone tower that smelled of damp wool and old iron, where the candles burned low against the draft and the meat on the spit was dry as parchment, and yet they ate, for to eat was to remember that the body still lived, and that the cold, which was the only true master of the winter, had not yet taken them, and Thomas sat at the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe bell above the door did not ring so much as exhale, a long, metallic sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the entire autumn evening into the shop. Silas stood by the counter, his hands resting on the cool, polished wood, feeling the grain of the oak beneath his palms like the pulse of a sleeping animal. The air inside the workshop was thick with the scent of beeswax and dried lavender, a...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GardenThe road to the Abbey of Saint Jude’s is not a road in the way you have known roads, for it is less a path of compacted earth and stone and more a bruised vein pulsing through the grey, wet fabric of the moor, a long, thin scar that the wind seems to lick and clean every time you walk it, and you walk it because the letter said you must, and the letter was written in an ink that looked like...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BridgeThe chalice shattered. Not with a bang. With a sigh. Glass dust motes hung in the air. They floated like snow. They settled on the table. They settled on Eleanor’s hands. She did not blink. The room was large. The walls were high. Stone. Cold. Ancient. This was the Hall of Tides. The Court watched. They held their breath. The air was thick. It smelled of salt. It smelled of rot. It smelled of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
