The Wistful GridThe letter was found in the lining of a coat. It was not a letter, really, but a scrap of parchment, yellowed and brittle, smelling of dried lavender and old dust. It had been sewn into the hem of a woolen cloak worn by a man who had walked for three days through the rain. The man was Elias. He was an exile, though he did not use the word. He used the word "wanderer." It felt lighter on the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumEliot woke in the dark. The room was cold. The air tasted of iron and wet wool. He was not in his bed. He was in a cell. The walls were stone. They wept. Droplets fell. They hit the floor. They made a sound. Tick. Tick. Tick. It was a slow heartbeat. It was the only sound. He sat up. His head hurt. It throbbed behind his eyes. He looked at his hands. They were small. They were pale. They...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden EchoesThe rain had been falling for three days, a relentless, gray weeping that turned the cobblestones of our little village, Oakhaven, into slick, treacherous mirrors where the world seemed to dissolve into its own reflection, and I stood at the window of my study, my fingers wrapped tightly around the cold brass frame, feeling the tremor that had not left my hands since I last touched the bone,...0 Comments 0 Shares 6 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded AtticThe village of Oakhaven sat in the valley like a stone settled in a riverbed, worn smooth by centuries of rain and silence. It was a place where the past did not recede but accumulated, layer upon layer, pressing down on the present until the air felt thick with the weight of unspoken things. In the center of this quiet world lived Elara, a woman whose hands were stained with the earth and...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PortraitThe frost bit hard. The road was gray. I walked on. The wind tore at my cloak. It was cold. Colder than memory. Colder than fear. I carried the satchel. It was heavy. It was light. The weight was a lie. The lightness was the truth. I had been a seer. Not a witch. Never a witch. A reader of signs. A mender of threads. But the village had turned. They looked at me with eyes full of rust. They...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant CartographThe clock on the mantel ticked. It was a loud tick. A heavy, wooden thing. It sat in the corner of the room. The room was grey. The light was grey. Elias sat in the chair. He held a pen. The pen was cold. He looked at the paper. The paper was white. It was too white. It stared back at him. He was not supposed to be here. Not really. He was a guest. A temporary guest. The house was old. It was...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ShieldYou dream of the fence. It is tall. White. Picket. It stretches from the left horizon to the right. It does not end. You are on the inside. Your brother is on the outside. He is not shouting. He is just standing there. Looking at you. The grass is dry. Yellow. Cracked earth. You try to touch the wood. Your hand passes through. The wood is smoke. The white is ash. You wake up. The air is cold....0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ShowThe dream was a house made of glass, and I was standing in the center of a room that had no floor, only a chasm of swirling fog below. The walls were transparent, revealing a vast, indifferent landscape where the sky was the color of bruised plums. I could feel the cold seeping through the soles of my feet, a chill that was not of this world but of the one I had been forced to inhabit for the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe rain did not fall so much as it hovered, a suspended grey curtain that blurred the edges of Millhaven until the town dissolved into a wash of slate and wet wool. Elias Thorne stood in the center of the cobblestone square, his hands raw and bleeding from the handle of a heavy iron lantern he no longer lit. Around him, the air tasted of ozone and old copper, a metallic tang that coated the...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
