The Wistful SagaThe iron cauldron had been black with soot for as long as Thomas remembered, a heavy, rounded belly of metal that sat in the center of the hearthstone, its surface pitted and dull as old earth. It was not a pot for stew or soup, nor a vessel for boiling wool, but a thing of specific, terrible purpose, a mirror of the house’s own suffocating silence. The air in the small, windowless cellar where...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden GreenhouseThe wool coat hangs on your arm, heavy and damp with the rain that falls not from the sky, but from the air itself. It is a grey coat, the color of old ash, and it has been worn by you for so long that the fabric has begun to look less like cloth and more like skin. It is your second skin, your armor, your shame. You are Major Elias Thorne, or so the badge on your chest claims, though the badge...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PortraitThe rain fell upon the city of Oakhaven not as water, but as a heavy, silken veil that erased the distinction between the cobblestones and the mist, turning the world into a gray, breathing entity that swallowed the light whole. Thomas Bradshaw walked through this grayness with the steady, heavy tread of a man who has long since stopped expecting the ground to hold him, his boots sinking into...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GhostThe taste is metallic. It coats the tongue, thick and cold, like the residue of a broken vial. You swallow. The fluid burns a path down the throat, a line of fire in the dark. You are in the chair. The restraints are tight against the wrists, the leather biting into the skin. The room is small. The walls are white. The light is sterile. You are not alone. He sits across from you. Elias Thorne....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WoundThe carriage rattled over the cobblestones of the capital, a sound like the grinding of ancient teeth in a dry throat, carrying Elara through the fog that clung to the streets with the tenacity of a lover who has forgotten how to let go. She sat upright, her hands resting on her lap, fingers intertwined so tightly that the knuckles turned the color of old bone, holding within her mind the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RuinThe banquet hall smelled of roasting lamb and old stone. I ate. I drank. The wine was dark. It stained my teeth. I looked around. Faces floated. They smiled. They did not know. I knew. My name is Thomas. I am the warden. Or so they say. The hall was vast. High ceilings. Painted with saints who had lost their eyes. The candles burned low. The shadows stretched long across the floor. I sat at the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MythThe blood was warm. It smelled of iron and old pennies. Elias wiped his face with a rag. The red smeared across his cheek. He looked at his hands. They were shaking. Not from fear. From the release. The man on the ground was still. His eyes were open. Fixed on the sky. The town of Oakhaven was silent. The fog rolled in from the river. It swallowed the streetlights. It swallowed the houses. It...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful GridThe ink on the parchment was not merely black, but a deep, bruised violet that seemed to absorb the light from the single tallow candle burning on the desk, leaving the rest of the room in a shadow so profound it felt less like darkness and more like a physical weight pressing against her temples. Margaret sat with her hands clasped tightly in her lap, the knuckles white, the skin stretched...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded QuadrantThe air in the valley of Harrow’s Creek was thick with the scent of wet loam and the heavy, cloying sweetness of overripe blackberries, a perfume that seemed to cling to the back of my throat, sticky and suffocating, as I stood at the edge of the town square where the festival lights were beginning to blur into a singular, pulsating gold against the encroaching twilight. It was the Harvest...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
