The Faded PhotographThe iron gate of the Whitehall complex did not creak, nor did it groan under the weight of the autumn rain that slicked the cobblestones with a sheen of oil and decay, but rather it slid open with a silence so profound and so violent in its absence of sound that it seemed to swallow the breath of everyone standing within the courtyard, a mechanical exhalation of the machine state itself which...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TaleThe jar is empty. You know it is empty. The glass is thin. The rim is chipped. You hold it in your left hand. Your right hand is shaking. The shaking is small. It is a tremor. It is a lie. You are not afraid. You are not tired. You are just thirsty. The shop is quiet. The dust motes dance in the light. They are gold. They are slow. They are alive. You watch them. You watch the jar. The jar is...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CompassThe morning air in the trench sector of New York was thick with the scent of ozone and wet iron, a metallic taste that clung to the back of Captain Elias Thorne’s throat long after he had pulled his helmet down. It was not a war of mud and blood in the old sense, but a conflict of geometry and light, fought in the shimmering, fractured planes that had torn through the city’s skyline three days...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded SutraYou walk the grey stone causeway that stretches out from the jagged cliffs of the North Sea, the wind biting at your face with a cold that feels less like weather and more like a judgment, as you carry the heavy, iron-bound chest that holds the last of your husband’s bones, a burden that has grown heavier with every mile you have put between the burning village and this strange, fog-choked...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AtlasYou have always known that the soil in this part of the valley does not forgive, that it is a heavy, black thing, packed tight with the memories of things that died long before you were born, and you stand now in the narrow, windowless back room of the archive, the air thick with the smell of mildew and the sharp, metallic tang of old paper, feeling the weight of the silence press against your...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe air tastes of rust and wet wool. You are in the room. It is small. The walls press in. They are painted a color that used to be white. Now it is the grey of old teeth. You count the planks. One. Two. Three. You do them again. One. Two. Three. Your hands are shaking. You hold them still. You are an exile here. You came for work. You stayed for the silence. The factory closes at six. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful GridThe rain hit the asphalt like static. Major Elias Thorne woke in the trench. Mud. Cold. He checked his weapon. Loaded. He checked his pulse. Fast. He was in the village. The name was forgotten. The time was wrong. The sky was grey. A grid. White lines. Crossing the field. He saw the grid. It was always there. In the mud. In the rain. In his mind. He moved. Left. Right. Up. Down. The grid was a...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SilenceThe elevator doors slide open with a pneumatic sigh, and you step onto the fourteenth floor of the Meridian Tower, your left knee a dull, throbbing drumbeat that keeps time with the fluorescent hum of the corridor. You are wearing a suit that fits you too well, tailored to hide the tremor in your hands, and you carry a tablet that holds the fate of three hundred lives in its glass back. The air...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CipherThe rain did not fall so much as it hovered, a suspended grey veil that smudged the edges of the world into a single, indistinct smear of wet stone and dying mud. I stood at the threshold of the watchtower, my boots sinking into the soft earth, feeling the cold seep through the leather and into the marrow of my shins, a sensation that had become so familiar over the last three weeks that it had...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews
