The Wistful ShowThe door did not knock. It exhaled. Elias stood in the antechamber. The air tasted of dust and old velvet. He waited. His hands hung at his sides. They were red. Not with blood. With ink. Or perhaps just the cold. The cold that lived in the bones of the building. The building was a palace of paper and glass. A temple to procedure. He had come to surrender. Not his life. His body. Specifically,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded PortraitThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a grey veil over the moors of the north. I stood by the fire in the small stone keep, watching the water drip from the eaves into the mud below. My hand rested on the hilt of my sword. It was a heavy thing, cold even through the leather wrap. I had carried it for three years. Three years of marching, of fighting, of killing men who looked just like me....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded Frequency14 October. The bus stops. You step off. Your boots hit the gravel. It crunches. You breathe. The air is cold. It cuts your lungs. You look up. The town is there. Small. Quiet. Gray. You are here to see him. You are here to end it. Or to save it. You do not know which. Your hands shake. You put them in your pockets. Your fingers brush the wool. It is soft. It is warm. It is yours. The scarf....0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe feast was a roar of silver and wine. I sat at the high table. The hall was warm. It smelled of roasted pork and wet wool. Outside, the rain lashed the windows. Inside, the fire ate the oak. Lord Ashworth laughed. His voice was a drum. The other lords clattered their cups. They raised them to me. I did not raise mine. “Drink, Sir Edward,” Ashworth said. I looked at the goblet. The wine was...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale MistThe feast is a lie. You know it. The candles gutter. The meat rots. Yet you sit. You must sit. The Hall of St. Jude is cold. Stone bites. Air chills. You are the Inquisitor. You are the seeker. You hunt the mist. The mist is not weather. It is a thing. It eats truth. It eats names. It eats the soul. You have hunted it for years. You have found nothing. You are tired. Your hands shake. The cup...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded ParadoxThe rain fell in sheets of grey silence. Inside the archive, the air was still. It smelled of dust and old paper. Arthur stood by the window. He watched the water run down the glass. It was a Tuesday. The year was 1998. He had not slept in two days. His hands trembled. He held a small object in his palm. It was a silver locket. It was tarnished. The surface was dull. It had been there for ten...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded AtticThe rain had not stopped for three days. It drummed a relentless, hollow rhythm against the single pane of glass in the window of the precinct’s basement office. Elias Thorne sat in the corner, his back pressed into the vinyl seat, staring at the bowl of soup on the desk. It was a thick, reddish broth. It smelled of iron and old meat. He did not touch it. He had not touched it in two hours. The...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Distant AffairThe rain did not fall so much as it hung, a grey veil drawn tight against the iron windows of the Blackwood Sanatorium. It was a damp, industrial chill that seeped through the stone, carrying the scent of wet coal and decayed roses. Elias Thorne sat in his office, a room that smelled of stale pipe tobacco and old paper, watching the water streak down the glass. He was not a man of flesh so much...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Pale AltarThe great hall of Ashworth Manor was a cavern of cold stone and thick velvet, where the air hung heavy with the scent of roasted pheasant, beeswax, and the metallic tang of old blood that never quite washed out of the grout, and in the center of this suffocating opulence stood Sir Edmund Ashworth, a man whose armor was less a shield than a cage of iron and pride, his gauntlets clenching and...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
