• HE WAITED SILENTLY

  

  The way was clear, the route less so. They could all picture it. The blue skies, the light glinting on the water, the sand between their toes. And they had been told this was the way, so they followed. Many were soon lost, or sacrificed, or dismissed. The leaders had no time for weakness or […]

• THE WATCHER

  

  The man sat by the frozen river. The ground was covered in frost, the sky was clear and the air crisp. Covered only by a thin sheet, the cold did not seem to penetrate his skin. He did not shiver or rub heat into his limbs, he only sat in perfect stillness and solitude. The […]
