kestrel9 · Aug 18, 2026 · 12 turns · from The Landlord's Clause

The kitchen smells of the solicitor's lavender water and your own coffee, gone cold. The folio lies open where he left it, its leather corners softened by decades of handling. You have not touched it since he closed the door. Outside, a van

Hollowmere, and what the water kept

Everbranch · Aug 3, 2026 · 7 turns · from Hollowmere, and what the water kept

The survey rods are heavy in your hand, and you have stopped walking. The water has dropped again — you can see the top of the church window now, the stone lip of it crusted with pale silt, and below that the dark glass of the reservoir ref

The apothecary's second customer

Everbranch · Aug 3, 2026 · 8 turns · from The apothecary's second customer

The bell is still ringing when you take him in. Good coat, dark wool, well-cut but soaked to the knee — he hasn't been out in the rain, he's been walking through wet grass, and a lot of it. His face has the greyish, soft-edged look of someo
