The Distant GhostThe porcelain bowl did not shatter when it hit the floor; it dissolved. It was a thing of pale blue glaze, cracked down the center in a way that suggested age rather than damage, a heirloom passed from mother to daughter in a lineage that Preacher Elias Thorne had spent three years documenting. He stood in the center of the drawing room, his boots heavy on the Persian rug, watching the...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe fog rolls in from the harbor, thick as wool and smelling of brine and rust. It eats the lamps on the quay. It eats the street. It eats the world until I am alone with the sound of my own breathing. I am writing this by candlelight in the attic of the old lighthouse. The paper is damp. My hands are shaking. I do not know why. Or perhaps I do. My name is Arthur. I am twelve years old. I have...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale TaleThe rain did not fall so much as it pressed against the windowpanes of the Magistrate’s office, a heavy, suffocating hand that turned the glass into a blurred, gray mirror where Marnie could see only the ghost of her own reflection, a face twisted in a silent scream that no one else in the room could hear, while the smell of wet wool and stale tobacco hung thick in the air, a scent that had...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MazeThe fog did not lift. It thickened. Elias stood at the edge of the cliff, his boots sinking into the wet moss. Below him, the valley stretched out in a swirl of grey mist, indistinguishable from the sky. He was twelve years old. He carried a staff of ash wood, smooth and worn by his hands. Beside him walked Kael. Kael was older, sixteen, with eyes that had seen too much for his face. They were...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe fog in the valley did not rise; it sat, thick and gray as wool, pressing against the stone walls of the Abbey of St. Jude until the very mortar wept moisture. It was a place where time had curdled, where the shadow of the bell tower fell across the courtyard like a bruise that would not fade. Here, the air smelled of damp limestone, rotting wood, and the faint, metallic tang of old blood....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded Frontier"You’ll lose it, Tom." The voice was thin. It came from behind the mahogany desk. It did not raise. It did not need to. Tom kept his eyes on the floor. The carpet was green. It was old. The pile was worn thin near the door. He looked at the scuff marks. He looked at the dust. He did not look at Mr. Halloway. "It’s a family heirloom," Tom said. His voice sounded small in the high ceiling. "It is...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CrossroadsYou arrive in the city with your hands full of dust. It clings to your skin, a fine gray powder that tastes of iron and old rain. The train has not stopped. It never stops. You are merely a passenger in a moving room, looking out at a blur of gray brick and neon light. You have been here before. You have always been here. The city is a beast that eats time and spits it back out as fog. You...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe feast was loud. It smelled of roasting pork and damp wool. I sat in the corner. My mother sat beside me. She was not eating. She was watching the fire. The fire was high. It burned the thatch. Sparks flew. They landed on my father’s tunic. He did not move. He drank. He laughed. The laughter was dry. It cracked in the throat. I was twelve. My hands were cold. The hall was warm. The air was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SilenceThe rain did not fall so much as it hung in the air, a gray, wet veil that smelled of rot and iron. Thomas sat on the cold stone of the courtyard wall, his boots black with mud, his hands resting on his knees. He was waiting. He had been waiting for three days, though in this place, time moved like thick syrup, sticky and indifferent. The walls of the citadel were high, carved from a pale stone...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
