(c) copyright 2026, David Albert Farmer Chapter 2 Desperate Eyes “When Judas, Jesus’ betrayer, saw that Jesus was condemned he repented and brought back the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders.

See to it yourself’ Throwing down the pieces of silver in the Temple Judas departed; and he went and hanged himself” (Matthew 27:3-5 New Revised Standard translation).

The Company of Judas
Copyright (c) 2026, David Albert Farmer Dedication For all the clergy, in the next world now, who chose suicide to end soul-piercing pain; and for their grieving family members and friends left in this world to mourn both the losses of their loved ones and the churches who, falsely claiming Jesus’ leadership and power, did what the eleven did when Judas pronounced himself an irredeemable and lost cause, a well-tied noose around his neck—nothing.

Glass Winter | Chapter XXI. Content Warning.
If only Tematyr had two harpoons; he would have already launched the second at Sowne. As it was, two denizens lifted the chief off the ground, to his frustration, and Tem’s attackers kept him from approaching. He only had the ice chisel remaining as a weapon, and he used it now to defend himself, but not to kill. That was reserved for Sowne.

The neighbors knew her as polite, composed, and distant. She baked lemon cakes for charity drives, sent handwritten thank-you notes, and waved gently from behind her white picket fence.

The Hand That Reached Back
The path was already there, though I could not remember stepping onto it. It opened beneath my feet as if the world had been waiting for me to notice it. Grass leaned softly against my ankles, bright with the kind of green that looks impossible until it is right in front of you. The air was warm, but not heavy. Sunlight poured through the high leaves in broken streams, touching the ground in gold and then disappearing again beneath patches of shade. It was not a field, but it was open like one. It was not a forest, but it breathed like one. The place refused to be only one thing. It stretched wide enough to run and deep enough to get lost. It gave room to laugh, but kept secrets between the trees.
