Eyes in the Night
A Hunter sat in the back corner of an old bar, spinning an empty casing with one hand while drinking with the other. For most, it was just another day of business. People were busy restocking or refueling, one or two local regulars stopping by with nothing on their minds except the passing of a few hours of drink between shift and sleep. And they all would eventually be on their way. Even though this appeared to be the usual day-to-day of this settlement, she took note of each detail, aware of one particular mystery. They seemed very comfortable for people this far away from the City. The door creaked, tearing her away from her observation. A stranger stepped in.

Longknife and The Queen
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. But, it didn't run red. There was no blood left in the kingdom. She had bled the land dry long before. That her loss, however, could so affect the very course of nature itself, was testimony to her prowess. She was the arbiter of her world, the fulcrum upon which the collective fate of a nation was balanced. In other words, she was an insufferable bitch and nobody lamented her disappearance. Neither did they rejoice at it, at least not in public.

A Decade of Decline. Runner-Up in Fantasy Prologue II Challenge. Top Story - October 2024.
The river ran backwards on the day the Queen vanished. Raindrops leapt from puddles and took to the sky. In the hills, snowflakes drifted upward to rejoin the clouds, and avalanches climbed to the mountain peaks. On the coast, the sea un-lapped the sand, crested backward, and waved goodbye.
