Populus
The outside world was unknown to her, but she could see a glimpse of it through the window in his room. The once lush and vibrant landscape had become a vast expanse of desert, whose deep fissures etched their way through fractal plates of clay like stretch marks. They seemed to strain upward over the monolithic city walls, to grasp desperately at what scant enduring moisture might still be suspended in the cloudless sky. Perhaps she was projecting. The world had grown tough, in recent years, not to view through a colourless lens. Surface runoff from the nearby mountains, which the Architect had once redirected to flow through the citadel, had been exhausted ages ago… And rainfall had become a rare phenomenon that the Elder now recounted with reverent longing. Groundwater, drawn from aquifers deep beneath the city, had since served as their primary water supply; The majority of which was reserved for maintaining crops and livestock.

Land of the Blighted: Part One
Mary’s visions had begun small and scattered. A flash of a clawed hand tracking grooves in a rock. Dark waves breaking on a cliff. A pair of milky black eyes floating alone in a void, just staring on. They were simple, easily lost in the tangle of her dreams. But then they had begun to invade her waking moments. The first time she had been possessed by one of these visions, she had been riding by horse back to Jacksonville, her eyes lost to a sight of horror that had her gripping the reins and spooking the horse.
