The Distant TempleThe wool coat hung on the hook by the door, its fabric a heavy, mottled grey that seemed to absorb the thin afternoon light filtering through the grime-caked windows of the municipal office, a garment that had once been the uniform of a respected medium but now served merely as a shroud for Elara Vane’s dwindling vitality. She stood before the desk of Director Halloway, a man whose face was as...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden VisitThe road is not a road. It is a vein of dark earth pulsing under the weight of your boots. You walk. You have always walked. The air tastes of copper and old rain, thick with the smell of wet wool and iron. You are a man made of duty. Your uniform is stiff, the fabric a gray that matches the sky above you, a sky that does not move, does not change, hangs like a suspended breath. You carry the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant SummerI woke to the sound of wings. They beat against the glass of the greenhouse. A dull, persistent thumping. Like a fist. Like a heart trying to break out. I lay still. The sheets were cold. I remembered the thistledown. I remembered the way it clung to my skin. It had taken weeks to collect. I had knelt in the garden. I had pulled the seeds from the stalks. I had placed them in a jar. I had...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden HarborThe hand trembled. It was not a cold tremble. It was a structural failure. Like a bridge too old to hold the weight of its own memory. He sat in the chair. The room was small. The walls were close. They pressed in. The air was thick. It tasted of dust and old paper. And something else. Something metallic. Like blood. Or like rust. This was his dream. He knew it was a dream. But the pain was...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded RootThe tower is not a tower. It is a throat. You stand in the atrium. The air tastes of ozone and old paper. Dust motes dance in the shafts of light that pierce the high, stained-glass windows. You are the Curator. Or so you believe. You have been the Curator for forty years. You know the groan of the foundation stones. You know the specific humidity of the third floor. You know the name of every...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TaleYou are wearing the wrong coat, Thomas. The gray one is for the fields, not for the hall. Margaret did not turn to look at him. She stood before the high, narrow mirror of the infirmary, her hands trembling slightly as she adjusted the collar of the garment. It was a heavy thing, woven from wool so dark it looked like bruised earth, and it had been worn until the elbows were thin and the knees...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DoorThe foxes were dying. I saw it first in the park. One lay in the tall grass, its fur matted with mud, eyes fixed on the sky. It did not breathe. I knelt. The air smelled of rain and rot. I touched its nose. Cold. It was not dead. It was waiting. I am not a hunter. I am a keeper. Of what, I did not know then. I am Thomas. I live in the city. The city is a beast of glass and steel. It eats light....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded MasqueradeThe ink was not merely black, but a void that drank the light from the single gas lamp in the corner of the cell. It sat on a stone ledge, a small bottle of obsidian glass, its surface unmarred by time or touch. Elias stood before it, his shadow long and thin against the damp brickwork, a figure of hollow eyes and tattered coat. He was not a man, not truly. For a century, he had been a whisper...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded Bouquet"You look terrible," David said. He did not look up from his screen. The blue light of the monitor cast long, ghostly shadows across his face. He was typing. The keys clacked like dry bones. "I feel fine," you said. "You’re shaking." Your hands were still. They were resting on the edge of the desk. The desk was cold. It was made of glass. You could see the cables underneath. They looked like...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
