The Distant WhispersThe ivy had consumed the eastern wall of the Blackfriars Guild Hall so thoroughly that the stone itself had become a mere suggestion, a ghostly skeleton beneath a living, breathing shroud of green that pulsed with a rhythm indistinguishable from the heartbeat of the city beyond the high, barred windows. It was a substance that defied the rigors of masonry and the laws of physics, a creeping,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrontierThe rain fell in sheets, a cold, metallic curtain that blurred the world into a smear of grey and rust. Sergeant Elias Thorne stood at the center of the village square, his boots sinking into the mud that had once been cobblestone. He did not look up. He watched the water pool around his ankles, a dark mirror reflecting the bruised sky. The noise of the protest was a physical weight, a low...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful MirrorThe road to the capital was a ribbon of grey mud that stretched endlessly through the autumn mist, swallowing the sound of my hooves until the world felt small and quiet. I rode a thin mare, her ribs showing like the keys of a broken harpsichord, and I carried with me a satchel that weighed more than the leather and canvas had any right to. Inside was my hand. Not a severed limb, mind you, but...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden FarceThe bell tolls at dusk. It is a deep, metallic sound. It vibrates in your teeth. You are on the road. The gravel is loose beneath your boots. You walk with a limp. It is old. It is yours. You carry a satchel. It is heavy. Inside, there is bread. It is stale. Inside, there is water. It is cold. Inside, there is a flask. It is empty. You are a soldier. You served. The war is over. The medals are...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale AltarThe house was a mouth full of teeth, and Clara stood in the kitchen with a wrench in her hand, the steel cold and indifferent against her palm. The rain outside did not fall so much as it hammered, a relentless industrial percussion against the slate roof, echoing the rhythm of the looms that had once churned in the cellar before the war swallowed the factory whole. Her husband, Julian, was not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe ink had not yet dried on the final line of the morning’s correspondence when the silence in the study ceased to be empty and began, with a sudden, heavy pressure against the eardrums, to be filled by a sound that was not quite a sound, a low, resonant thrumming that seemed to rise from the very stone foundations of the ancestral home, a vibration that Edward Ashworth, a man who had spent...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CampusThe house was full of smoke. It hung in the air, thick and grey, smelling of wet wool and old wood. I sat in the corner. My hands were still. They trembled only when I looked at them. The party was loud. Voices clashed like glass. I watched the light bounce off the chandelier. It spun. It cut the dark. I am Elias. I came here from the coast. The sea is far away now. The air is dry. It bites the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant LegendThe rain did not fall so much as it insisted, a grey, persistent static that pressed against the windows of the suburban house until the glass bowed inward, as if the atmosphere itself were trying to squeeze the life out of the room. I sat in the armchair that had belonged to my father, a piece of furniture so heavy and rigid it felt less like seating and more like a penitential bench, and I...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful GridThe feast was a symphony of silver and silence. Thomas sat at the long oak table. His hands were steady. He held the cup. It was heavy. Porcelain. White. It contained nothing. It contained everything. The air in the Great Hall was thick. It smelled of wax and old stone. It smelled of fear. Around him, the courtiers ate. They chewed. They swallowed. They did not speak. They looked at him. Their...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
