The Faded GuestThe gate was broken. I saw it before the lanterns did. A splinter of oak, dark and wet, jutted out from the hinge like a broken tooth. I touched it. The wood was cold. It bit into my skin. I pulled my hand back. My fingers shook. I am a guard. I know gates. I know how they hold. This one did not. I stood in the mud. The rain was falling. It hit my face. It felt like needles. I looked up. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BannerThe mist hung low in the valley of Oakhaven, a thick, white shroud that erased the horizon. It smelled of wet stone and rotting leaves. Here, the air was still, heavy with the weight of unseen things. The villagers did not speak of the fog. They simply waited for it to lift. But it never did. It only grew thicker, pressing against the windows of the stone cottages, whispering secrets that had...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful MountainThe rain fell in a steady, gray sheet over the cobblestones of the old town square, washing the dust from the faces of the merchants who had gathered for the annual inventory of the Guild Hall. Elara stood by the window of her stall, her fingers tracing the grain of a mahogany table leg, her eyes fixed not on the wood but on the reflection of her own face in the dark glass. She was a woman of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant SummerThe rain on the pavement sounded like static, a low, ceaseless hum that seemed to vibrate in the marrow of my bones. I stood at the edge of the intersection, the collar of my uniform high against the chill, watching the yellow cabs slide through the wet asphalt like oily fish. It was a Tuesday, or perhaps a Wednesday; time had lost its rigid architecture somewhere in the last few weeks,...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe letter arrived on a Tuesday. It was thin, cream-colored, and smelled faintly of lavender water. Elias held it in his hands, the paper trembling slightly against his skin. He stood at the window of his small apartment in the coastal town of Harrow’s End. The sea was grey and flat today, pressing against the shingle with a rhythmic, dull thud. He did not open the letter immediately. He knew...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DoorThe castle of Blackwood Rise did not merely stand upon the hill; it clawed its way out of the dark, jagged earth, a skeletal finger pointing accusingly at the bruised sky. Sir Alaric stood at the threshold of the great hall, his armor cold against his skin, a second layer of flesh that had long since ceased to feel the chill of the wind but now trembled with a different, more intimate shiver....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CrossroadsThe door locked. It clicked. A soft, final sound. Elias sat. He was a clockmaker. His hands shook. Not from fear. From cold. The room was small. Stone walls. No windows. Just one lamp. The flame flickered. It cast long shadows. The shadows moved. They danced. They waited. Elias looked at them. He knew them. He had made them. Every gear. Every spring. Every tooth. He had crafted time. Now time...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BannerThe air in the Hall of Records was thick with the scent of dried lavender and the faint, metallic tang of old ink, a atmosphere that seemed to hang suspended in time, indifferent to the centuries that had passed outside the high, arched windows. You stood before the Great Table, your hands resting on the cold oak, feeling the grain against your palms like the texture of a life you were not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale CircusThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a gray, suspended breath over the cobblestones of the Old Quarter, turning the ancient stones slick with a mirror-like sheen that reflected the hollow eyes of the passersby. Elias Thorne stood at the edge of the precipice, where the cliffside met the sea, and watched the mist swallow the lighthouse until it was nothing more than a rumor of white light....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
