The Wistful MountainThe rain does not fall so much as it hangs, a suspended grey curtain of mist that erodes the very concept of distance, blurring the boundary between the cobblestones of the square and the heavy, breathing dark of the night, a state of being that you have known for so long it has become the texture of your own skin, a second layer of flesh that you wear like a penance, a weight that settles into...0 Comments 0 Shares 1 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden QuestThe rain in Harrowgate did not wash things clean. It merely made the grime slicker, darker, and harder to ignore. Elias Thorne stood at the window of his study, watching the water bead on the glass. He was a man of few habits and fewer words. His face was a map of lines that spoke of long nights and longer silences. He had come to this damp, crumbling town to find a truth that everyone else had...0 Comments 0 Shares 2 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful CampusThe mist rolled in from the valley. It was thick. It smelled of wet wool and old stone. I stood on the edge of the cliff. My father was gone. He had walked into the fog. He did not look back. He never looked back. I am a maker of things. I make clocks. Small ones. They tick in my pockets. They tick in my ears. The town below is grey. The roofs are slate. The air is cold. I am Thomas. I am...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Faded QuadrantThe house stood on the hill like a bruise that refused to fade, a squat, stone edifice with windows that glared white and empty against the grey November sky. It had been there for centuries, perhaps since before the memory of men, and it would remain long after the last foot had trod the mud of the valley floor. It was a place of permanence, a fixed point in a world that was otherwise...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden CrossingThe bell in the tower of St. Jude’s did not ring for the dead. It rang for the living, a dull, rhythmic thud that vibrated in the marrow of your bones as you stood in the square, watching the iron gate creak open. You were the Watcher, the one who listened to the hum of the city, the one who could feel the friction of souls against one another like sandpaper on skin. It was a quiet trade,...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful GridThe letter was found in the pocket of your coat, three years after you had stopped wearing it. The ink had faded to a bruised purple, the paper brittle as autumn leaves, but the words remained sharp, cutting into the silence of the study where you now sit, waiting for the end of the day. You are a clockmaker. This is the first thing you must remember, before the fog rolls in, before the hands...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Golden OathThe fire did not begin with a spark, but with a silence so profound it seemed to swallow the very air of the Great Hall, leaving only the dry rasp of parchment against stone and the slow, inevitable settling of dust into the cracks of the ancient floor where the light from the high, narrow windows fell in pale, dusty columns that were less like illumination and more like the visible ghosts of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful SilenceYou are standing in the garden. It is not your garden. It is not any garden that belongs to the living. The grass is grey. The sky is a bruise that will not heal. You know this. You have always known this. You are looking for the fox. It is small. It is white. It is worn thin by the wind. It is the only thing that remains of your father. You do not think of him as a man. You think of him as a...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews

The Wistful AsylumThe brass is cold under your fingers, colder than the air in the corridor, colder than the blood that still stains the hem of your uniform. You hold the pocket watch, the one that belonged to your father, the one that belongs to no one now but the silence. It does not tick. It has not ticked since the night the walls began to breathe. You are a man of order, a soldier of the state, a keeper of...0 Comments 0 Shares 0 Views 0 Reviews
