The Golden RitualThe dream was always of the hands. They were long, pale, and trembling, held up to a light that did not exist in the waking world. In the dream, Arthur Penhaligon was not the Guild Master of the Glassmakers’ Hall, but a boy again, watching his father’s fingers trace the curve of a vessel. The glass in the dream was not clear, but a deep, arterial red, and when it shattered, the shards did not...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumYou wake in the fog. The air tastes of iron and wet wool. It is thick. It coats your tongue. You do not know where you are. You know only that you are here. And you know that you are searching. The mist clings to the ground. It swallows the world. You see only three feet in front of your face. Beyond that is nothing. A grey void. A breathing wall. You walk. Your boots crunch on gravel. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded FrequencyThe letter is yellowed. The ink has bled, soft and brown, like old blood under a nail. You are holding it in a room that smells of dust and damp wool. The walls are close. The air is thin. You read the date. It is not a date you recognize. The calendar has changed. The year is a ghost. You remember the sound. The hum. It was in the walls. In the pipes. In the back of your throat. A low,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful DinnerThe iron gate of the Ashworth estate did not creak, for it had been oiled by hands that knew the value of silence, and I stood before it with my hands clasped so tightly around the silver-handled parasol that the bones of my knuckles whitened against the dark, polished wood. Inside, the garden was a tapestry of overgrown ivy and silent, grey stones, the kind of place where time seemed to pool...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe train left at four. Silas stood on the platform. The air smelled of coal dust and wet wool. He adjusted his cap. The brim was stiff. It had been stiff for years. His hands shook. He hid them in his pockets. The leather of the gloves was cracked. He could feel the cold seeping through. He was leaving the house. He was leaving the town. He was leaving the life that had calcified around him...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ChronicleYou stand at the edge of the moor. The wind bites. It is sharp. It is cold. You feel it in your bones. Hold the ledger. It is heavy. The leather is cracked. The pages are stained with rain and blood. You have carried it for three days. You have not slept. Your eyes burn. The light is failing. The sky is a bruise. Purple. Gray. Black. You are Thomas. You are a scribe. You are a merchant of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful ThroneThe cup was chipped. A small fracture ran along the rim. It looked like a tear in the skin. It looked like a scar. Elias held it in his hands. The porcelain was cold. It was always cold. He sat in the kitchen. The room smelled of dust and old wood. The rain tapped against the glass. It was a steady rhythm. It was a lonely rhythm. Outside, the war was far away. Or so he told himself. The guns...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden SongThe mirror cracked. It started at the top left corner. A spiderweb of white lines spread across the glass. Clara stared. The reflection stared back. She did not blink. The house held its breath. Dust motes danced in the slant of afternoon light. The floorboards creaked under her weight. She was fifty-two. Her hair was thinning. The lines around her mouth were deep. She looked like her mother....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant ClueThe old house at the end of the lane did not merely stand; it endured, a skeletal thing of rotting oak and slate that had outlived the hands that built it and the names that were once scratched into its lintels, and I stood before it now, in the wet November rain that slicked my boots and blurred the world into a grey smear, waiting for the knock that had been promised to me in a letter that...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
