The Wistful ShowThe coin was heavy in his palm. Brass. Worn smooth by the thumbs of men dead three centuries. It sat there, a small, cold sun, reflecting the grey light of the valley. Elara did not look at him. She looked at the map. The parchment was brittle. The ink faded. But the lines were clear. We are close, she said. Her voice was dry. Like leaves underfoot. He nodded. He did not speak. He could not....0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale ExileThe clock in the lobby didn’t tick. It sat there, a brass eye with no pupils, watching the dust settle on the carpet. I stopped looking at it after the first day. Now I just felt its weight, a pressure behind my eyes. You think you can outrun a debt. You think if you move the house, the house follows. If you move the city, the city follows. I moved from Boston to Chicago. Then to Denver. Now I...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TowerThe road to the Citadel of Aethelgard was a scar of red earth cut through the gray heather, and Captain Elias Thorne walked it with the heavy, rhythmic tread of a man carrying a weight he could no longer see. His cloak, once the deep blue of a winter midnight, was faded to the color of dried blood, the hem frayed and tattered by the relentless wind that swept down from the northern peaks. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinThe train did not stop at the station, but rather dissolved into the mist that clung to the valley like a shroud of wet wool. Elias stood at the edge of the platform, his coat buttoned to the throat, watching the carriage vanish into the grey. He had traveled for three days to reach this place, a sprawling manor house set upon a cliff that overlooked a sea which no longer reflected the sky. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CompassYou dream of the iron gate again, not as a barrier but as a mouth, wide open, swallowing the light of the sun that has been beating against the walls of the manor for the last three days, a light that feels less like illumination and more like a physical weight pressing down on your eyelids until you are certain that if you do not open them you will be crushed by the sheer density of the...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant JourneyThe wind did not blow in the Hall of Glass. It whispered. It seeped through the stone cracks like cold water, carrying the scent of wet moss and old iron. Brother Silas sat in the corner, his knees drawn to his chest. He was a small man, bent by decades of listening, his hands rough as bark. Across the room, Lord Vane stood by the window. The window was not glass, but a sheet of polished...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant TempleThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a suspended grey curtain that blurred the edges of the world and turned the streets of the city into a series of wet, reflective pools that caught the fractured light of the streetlamps. You walked with your head low, the collar of your coat turned up against the damp chill that seemed to seep through the wool and settle into the marrow of...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe snow fell in silence. It was a thick, white blanket. The castle stood against it. Grey stone. Cold iron. The air bit. Lord Ashworth stood by the window. He held his sword. The hilt was warm. His hands were cold. He watched the courtyard. Below, the men gathered. They wore red. Their eyes were low. "Is he ready?" Ashworth asked. His voice was low. It did not shake. The servant nodded. He did...0 Comments 0 Shares 4 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe letter lies on the oak table, the ink still wet and black as a bruise. You press your thumb against the seal, feeling the wax give way under the weight of your doubt. It is a Tuesday, or perhaps a Wednesday; the days in the Tower of St. Jude have lost their distinctness, blending into a single, grey expanse of stone and silence. Outside, the autumn wind rattles the leaded glass, a sound...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
