Have you ever woken up and realized that you are not happy?
Have you ever woken up and realized , that nothing you have wanted, that nothing you have done, has been significant in the end?

Not descended. Not dropped. Fell akin to icarus.
The air around him screamed. It burned, ignited by the speed of his passage, his armor glowing white-hot as something invisible compressed and caught fire, trailing behind him like a comet's tail. The sound came after, a thun...

“That’s true,” I said, keeping my voice level, “but it wouldn’t have made anything ring in my mind if it wasn’t for everything else.”
And that was the truth, wasn’t it? The casual m...

Not thought, no memory, just sensation. The temperature hovered somewhere between warm and hot, the kind of heat that made muscles unclench.
It fell in a steady stream, not pounding, not aggressive, just consistent...

The cold came first.

She danced alone, beautifully, madly, with no propriety whatsoever, dancing and laughing altogether, the world her partner, the night sky above stretching infinite and attentive. The moon shone brighter than it had any right to, its pale luminescence in...

"Exactly. Because of our seals."
Shusei's words hung in the air, heavy with implications I was still processing, still trying to fit into the framework of what I knew, what I'd learned, what made sense.
Outside, I felt more than heard the device begin to hover, rising smoothly o...
"There are no chances I'm going in that thing."
Shusei turned to look at me, his expression caught somewhere between amusement and genuine offense, like I'd just insulted his cooking or questioned his taste in music.
"Common, it doesn't look that bad, right?"
He turned in the di...

Jacob's voice cut through the silence of the chamber like a blade through silk, deliberate and unhurried. He sat upon what could only be described as a throne, though perhaps that was too generous a word for it. The chair was massive, carved from dark wood t...

The thing was small, rough boards, tar in the seams, the smell of old nets baked into the wood. A real fisherman’s boat, not a prince’s skiff, not a lord’s galley, and it drifted the way a lazy thought ...

In the throne room, no one moved for a long moment. They stood or knelt or crouched where the roar had driven them, staring at the broken window, at the empty sky beyond.

In the end, Grandpa and I found ourselves on a bench.
