Description
[Prev] - [Next]
As I contemplated the evening on my balcony, I heard something I never had before. It was faint; a low and mournful sound that swirled and eddied past the horizon. So distant it was, yet as it rose in its octaves it rose in my consciousness. A shiver possessed me, as if gripped by a cold hand around my heart.
It held me there for a time, and it was only through time that the long song slowly fell again into the dusk. Then and only then did the icy fingers release their grip on my heart, and I couldn’t help but quake from the experience of it.
Cold? Perhaps not cold. A different emotion that caused a similar response in me. The only other thing that had such power was the holy word itself. To think that there could be something else that could cause that from within the city walls…-
No. At least, I don’t think so. Why have I not heard such a thing before? Perhaps it is related to my new station. Perhaps that likeness to the holy word’s influence is because it is the holy word, and it is only due to my ascension that I have gathered enough wisdom to perceive it.
I do not fully know; this development will require much more contemplation and research.

Whelp, the platform I was going to post these on, Neonmob, is shutting down at the end of the month. So there goes a year of work, LOL. Oh well. I am uploading everything here and on my patreon. Eventually I will re-name and re-order them in my gallery, with the story blurbs they were meant to have, to fully complete the series.
