The Wistful ThroneYou wake in the cold. The floor is stone, old and unyielding. It presses against your cheek. You are in the Palace. Not the museum part. Not the place where tourists take photos of the gilded ceilings. You are in the deep places. The air smells of damp wool and ozone. It is a sharp smell. It cuts through the rot of the years. You sit up. Your bones ache. You are a captain. You remember this....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden MirrorThe dream begins not with a vision, but with a hum, a low-frequency vibration that seems to rise from the very foundation of the marble floor beneath your feet. You are standing in the atrium of the Meridian Institute for Behavioral Architecture, a building that looks less like a structure and more like a monolith of glass and steel erected in the middle of a grey, rain-slicked Seattle morning....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant WhispersThe fire eats the door. You feel the heat on your face. It is a living thing. It breathes against your skin. You are in the cell. The walls are stone. They are old. They have seen this before. You know this. You have been here for three days. Or four. Time is a fluid thing here. It pools in the corners. It drains away when you blink. Your hand is on your chest. You can feel the bone. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant GhostThe storm broke the world open at dawn, a tearing of the sky that left the village of Oakhaven suspended in a grey, silent void. The ancient elm at the center of the square, the Tree of Judgment, split with a sound like a bone breaking. It fell not toward the church, but toward the well, crushing the stone rim and plunging into the dark water below. Rain fell in sheets, cold and indifferent,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BonsaiThe ink was black. It was wet. It smelled of iron and old rain. Silas sat in the dark of the cell. The chair was hard. The air was cold. He held the pen. His hand did not shake. It had not shaken in years. He looked at the paper. It was blank. White. Endless. A void waiting to be filled. He was a prisoner of words. Or so they said. The walls were stone. Gray. Cold. The door was iron. Thick....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful DinnerThe rain had not stopped for three days, a grey curtain that blurred the edge of the world and turned the manor’s stone walls into a weeping, porous skin. I stood by the hearth, the only source of warmth in the vast, hollowing hall, watching the embers breathe their final, sluggish breaths. My hands, once steady enough to carve the finest oak into intricate filigree, now trembled with a palsy...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale EchoThe rain did not fall so much as it condensed, a fine, metallic mist that clung to the iron girders of the suspension bridge, turning the steel into a shimmering, weeping skin that reflected the fractured lights of the city below. Elias Thorne stood at the railing, his hand resting on the cold, damp metal, watching the fog roll in from the harbor with a slowness that felt less like weather and...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale BannerThe rain in London does not fall; it hovers, a suspended gray mist that clings to the wool of one’s coat and seeps into the marrow with the slow, insidious patience of a debt long overdue. I stood at the window of my office in the old university quarter, watching the students huddle beneath the awnings of the bookshops, their faces obscured by the damp and the low-hanging fog, and I thought of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale GardenYou drift in a sleep that is not quite sleep, a viscous suspension where the boundaries of the self dissolve into the damp, breathing walls of a place that looks terribly like the old Orphanage on Blackwood Lane, but is somehow much larger, much darker, and infinitely more hungry. You are you, but you are also the wallpaper, you are the dust motes dancing in the single beam of pale, sickly...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
