The Pale MistThe letter lay on the desk. It was thin. Pale. It waited. You picked it up. Your fingers trembled. The ink was dry. The words were sharp. You had come to this town to hide. The name was Halloway. It was a small place. Stone walls. Old air. You wanted to disappear. You wanted to be no one. You failed. The town knew you. They watched. They whispered. They knew your face. They knew your past. They...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MazeThe cart rattled. The wheels groaned. The dust rose. It was dry. It was hot. Elias Thorne sat alone. He was a man of cloth. He made coats. He made hats. He made gloves. He made them well. The thread was fine. The cut was true. He loved the fabric. He loved the weight. He loved the drape. He left the village. The gates were iron. The sky was white. He did not look back. He knew why he left. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden ScarThe dream did not begin with a bang, but with a hum. It was a low, resonant vibration that started in the marrow of Elias Thorne’s knee and traveled upward, dissolving the sterile white walls of the Sanatorium for Cognitive Decline into a haze of grey mist. Elias stood, though he felt no legs. He was a consciousness suspended in a landscape that defied the geometry of the waking world. The sky...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden SongThe iron lungs of the factory breathed a steady, rhythmic sigh that vibrated through the floorboards of the watchtower, a low-frequency hum that Elara had felt in her marrow since childhood. She sat on the edge of the cot, her back straight, her hands resting on her knees, fingers interlaced with a precision that betrayed a soldier’s discipline rather than a girl’s restlessness. The tower was a...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale GardenYou dream of the bell. It hangs in the void. Bronze. Green with age. You do not see the rope. You do not see the tower. Only the metal. Cold. Silent. You reach for it. Your hand passes through. The dream dissolves. You are awake. The cell is stone. Cold. Damp. You are Captain Elias Thorne. You are in the Iron Keep. The year is 1348. The Black Death has passed through the city of York. It has...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale PathThe stone was cold. It bit into his cheek. Aldric lay still. The dark was thick. It tasted of iron. He did not move. He breathed shallow. The air was stale. It held the scent of damp rot. And old blood. He was alone. Or so he thought. The silence was heavy. It pressed against his eardrums. Like deep water. He opened his eyes. The light was gray. It came from a high slit. A single pane. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ThresholdThe rain did not fall; it hovered. It hung in the air of the holding cell like a suspended breath, a thick, grey mist that clung to the walls and the floor. Elias Vance sat on the cold metal bench, his hands folded in his lap. He was sixty-two years old, though he felt older, as if time had compressed him, squeezed him down to the size of his bones. The fluorescent light above him buzzed, a...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GardenYou walk in. The lobby is white. It is too white. You wear a coat. The coat is brown. It is old. You smell like damp earth. They smell like lemon. "Name?" "Margaret." "Last name?" "Holloway." The clerk does not look up. He types. The keys click. Clack. Clack. Clack. "I don't see it," he says. "You mean you don't see me." "I mean the file. It's missing." "It is not missing. It is hidden."...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden VisitThe engine coughs. Steam hisses from the valve. You adjust the lever. The pressure gauge trembles. You are alone in the carriage. The night is black. The rail is cold. You are a Sergeant. The uniform is heavy. The brass buttons bite. You smell oil. You smell rust. You smell fear. It is not your fear. It is the fear of the machine. The machine is a beast. The beast is bound. The beast is hungry....0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
