The storm outside rages and the wind blows. Leaves swirl in a vortex of chaos across the cobblestone street. She first spots her through the pained glass windows. A distorted view of a woman robed for rest in the dusk of a coming stormy night.
The heavy wooden door of the All Mothers House swings ajar as she runs. “Sister!” Her voice is taken up and away by the wind. She cannot be heard. Reachi...
Curtains hanging from an open window flap against a cold breeze. The outside air blows in, washing over her exposed skin. She stirs yet remains sound asleep. Her skin prickling as the hairs on her legs rise in the cool air. She shifts again, then retreats, pulling her legs under the sheets. Subconsciously seeking a new equilibrium of warmth.
From the desk across her room, little scratches becom...
Her eyes began to well up, the first traces of realization. They blurred her vision, and yet she did not blink them away, instead letting the droplets build and flood out what she thought was an impossible thing. Though the rest of her remained in a subtle state of shock. As if time had slowed the moment they arrived. She was still there, standing among the curious crowd, waiting to see why they h...
**In their world of almost complete darkness, the creatures know not in the power of true light energy. For none of those who dwell here have seen anything brighter than the brilliant glow of bitter mushrooms that trive in the dark. Knowledge of the light has long been lost to the small folk that call this place home. The teachers now speak only in tales of old, speaking unknown truths in the form...
A western wind picked up early that morning. Infusing the ocean waters with heightened enthusiasm. It spoke to her in a way as she sat there, watching the roughness of it all. Dawn was surly approaching, the faint, dappled glow of the sun's rays just barely visible. Still, she could make out the growing waves eager to flood the shores, but alas, the hour was low, so they waited. Building energy wh...
Water ripples against the shoreline. He watches with baited breath, head cocked, eyes transfixed on the gentle waves. The subtle way of the water, as it’s pushed ashore creating movement in the grass. This intrigues him.
“Something changes the waters.” He signals to his friend. Then picks her up and carries her up a tree. Where they sit silently, blending with the stillness that surrounds this pl...
“It dwells in the depths of the caves, never breaking the barrier between light and shadow.” He steps back, leaving behind the light of the flickering flame, now veiled in shadows in the corner of the room.
“It only feeds off those who can’t curb their curiosity and go wondering too near.” My uncle crouches low to the floor, arms held high with fingers mimicking the claws of the beast called Hail...
You slide the bag across the table, and the hooded figure opposite you peers inside. “Where the hell did you get this?!” He quickly looks up at you with an expression of pure disbelief. “How?” He says, lips parted, eyes wide as he searches you, scanning down your face, neck, and arms as if you should bear some sort of mark for having this in your possession.
Not seeming to find what he searches ...
Gods It’s stifling in here; you wonder why you didn’t choose a cooler climate. Droplets of sweat drip along your brow and run down the side of your face. Mentally, you start to remind yourself that this is only...
“So, who’s going to die today?” He says this as he saunters down the line-up in his industrial hydraulic exoskeleton suit. The squad lead, eyeing his new batch of recruits with the typi...
William once again found himself completely disoriented. A symptom that often came from following his two older brothers. If only he knew they would be riding deep into the Queen's forest, he probably would have skipped out on this… Well, actually, he wasn’t quite sure what this was. All he knew for sure was that he regretted begging them to let him tag along.
“Oscar, where are we going?” Willia...
