The Pale PathI dreamed of the white line. It stretched out before me, endless and sharp. It cut through the dark grass of my memory. I woke with my mouth dry. The air in the office was still. It smelled of dust and old paper. My name is Thomas. I am forty years old. I work here. This is my home. My wife is Martha. She waits for me at home. She loves me with a fire that never goes out. I feel it in her...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SkylineThe train did not stop at the terminus of the city but rather seemed to dissolve into the gray, soot-stained mist that hung low over the industrial district, a suffocating shroud that smelled of wet coal and the metallic tang of old blood, a scent that Eleanor had come to associate with the specific, crushing weight of her own confinement. She sat in the corner of the third-class carriage, her...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful PetalThe silk ribbon, once a vibrant shade of garnet, now hangs limp and pale as a dried leaf from the button of your coat. You do not remember tying it there, yet your fingers know the weight of it, a small, cool anchor against the wool that keeps you tethered to the floor of the library while the rest of the house breathes. It is a quiet evening in the old manor, the kind where the dust motes...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant PromiseYou dream of the house. It stands on the hill. Stone. Cold. The ivy is black now. Not green. You have seen it in the fog. You know the way. You always know the way. Your boots are wet. The mud is thick. It pulls at your heels. You walk. You must walk. Your name is Thomas Bradshaw. You are old. Your knees ache. The rain is cold. It soaks your coat. You are a police officer. You are the head of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CircuitThe dream was of mud. Thick, sucking clay that pulled at the boots and the bones alike. It smelled of iron and rot. Waking brought the cold of the stone floor and the weight of the iron collar around the throat. Elias Thorne sat up. His left hand trembled. It always did. The flesh there was gone, replaced by the cold, silent metal of the regulator. A device of peace. A tool of control. He...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MistThe fog did not simply enter the factory; it seeped into the very marrow of the iron girders and the lungs of the men who worked beneath them, a thick, grey broth that tasted of coal smoke and the metallic tang of old blood. Elias Thorne stood at the head of the inspection line, a figure of such austere dignity that the younger apprentices often forgot he was a man and saw instead a statue...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale DanceThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a thick, grey curtain of industrial mist that swallowed the cobblestones of the narrow alleyway behind the St. Jude’s orphanage, turning the world into a wet, breathing thing that smelled of sulfur, wet wool, and the metallic tang of old blood. Thomas Bradshaw stood in the center of this deluge, his hands trembling not from the cold, but from...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SagaI dreamt of the glass. Not the window, but the pane. It hung in the air, suspended by a thread of light. I reached for it. My fingers passed through the cold surface. It did not break. It did not shatter. It simply ceased to be there. I woke with my hands open. Empty. The room was gray. The light from the corridor seeped under the door, a thin line of pale white. I sat up. The sheets were...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful LetterThe rain hits the tin roof of the station house like a handful of gravel thrown by an angry god, and you are awake before the thought of waking can fully form in your mind. This is not sleep; it is a suspended animation, a holding pattern in the grey void of the industrial dawn. You are Sergeant Elias Thorne, and you are standing in the center of the main hall of Blackwood Station, a structure...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews
